43 Folders says "Flame Yourself!"

43 Folders has a suggestion to avoid the sorts of social gaffes online that we make when we post before we think. Seems to fit into my latest series on dealing with things that are difficult online. Seems like sound advice to me, except for those who tend to over flagellate!
Flame yourself - Grab yourself a free email account from someplace like Gmail or Yahoo! Mail and use it as your private punching bag. Every time you’re tempted to send an ill-advised flame to the latest assclown in your life, send it to your dummy account instead. Log in every few months and read your own vitriol. Experience relief that a long-forgotten flame-out remained your little secret. (From 43F Board of Directors member, Ms. Leslie Harpold)
