Personally, it takes A LOT to get me that angry but my trick before I do is I laugh. It ****es the other person off tremendously (and that's part of why I do it too) but I will just stand there and laugh at you and walk right past you laughing.
The other thing I have to admit works all by itself is CONSEQUENCES I don't know how old you are but I'm in my 30's with kids so before I do anything these days the first thing I think about is what is it going to cost me. That ususally stops me from smacking someone in the face. It did very recently...
But if you get to the point where you see black then I have no advise there because the few times it's happened in my life I've had to have people hold me back from doing something I may have really been sorry for. But like I said it takes a lot to get me there.

Not to know you don't know is a flaw.
Therefore, the Sage's not being flawed
