Angry words will be exchanged via social media, text messages or email. Remember that it's hard to judge tone from written communications. If you read something that offends you, take a few deep breaths before responding. It's a good idea to wait a full day before giving an answer. Once your temper subsides, you'll be able to clear up any misunderstandings. Beware of challenging an educational, religious or legal authority. The last thing you want is to make a powerful enemy of this influential person.
