This site is obviously dedicated to those moments I catch myself in "over-thought". So I'll leave my thoughts as generic and applicable to most situations as possible.
Sometimes the difference between success is how you approach the situation at hand. No matter how sticky and how bad the circumstances may be, being cautious not to strike the wrong chord or speak the wrong words make all the difference in resolving an issue.
I suppose it appears common sense to most to be cautious with wordchoice when the situation is delicate and could easily rupture someone's ego. The tone and wordchoice dictate the difference between whether a thought is carried out as an attack or if you are handling it a rational matter instead.
EH noted in regards to my 'I swear to god we'll be alright if you put your weapon down' status message, that "when two people are hostile the argument gets no where, when one person is hostile the other person caves due to aggression...overall it may build resentment".
Using a careful approach, generally with words, and portrayal of tone, are keys to conquering any situation, no matter how difficult.
Peace and harmony versus rage and aggression. It's an obvious no-brainer which team wins.

It's all about the approach - I wholeheartedly agree. Too much on either end of the spectrum could spell doom. There is a fine line to be walked.
