Before the story airs: Do you email while angry?

Here’s a NOT so bold prediction. You email, text, and possibly post to social media sites. You also get angry.

Here’s the question…do you ever mix your intense emotion with your messages? Technology means we have more ways to communicate than ever before, but are we communicating better? Common sense signals it’s probably best to avoid emailing and posting when we’re enraged. What feels right in moment can lead to hurt feelings, regret, or worse.
