…a great piece. I've recently gone through a similar process. I used to be more trollish and snarky. What helped me was making myself follow a rule to begin my usual snarky comments with something I agree with in the article. By the time you write the words "I completely agree with you that...but..." your mind is already in a calmer, more self-aware place. And if I can't find one point of agreement, then it's just "no comment."
