Sometimes, when dealing with a particularly difficult editor or situation, you may be tempted to verbally express your opinions. Do so! Don't hold back! Don't try to think too hard about it; just express how you feel!. This is especially useful in controversial debates, where an uncensored, poorly-thought-out comment will clearly have a calming effect on the situation and make everyone understand your side of the debate, whether they want to or not!. Don't worry about offending people; they are responsible for assuming good faith anyway. Just make sure you opinions and feelings are out there and everyone knows it!
While one could, of course, employ such a verbal tactic from a registered Wikipedia account, overt hostility is far more effective and appreciated if you have the fortitude to post it from an IP address.
