what i am trying to learn to do, and part of my reason for a self imposed 3 messages rule (that i sometimes transgress), is to 

1. meet the arguments head on, 
2. explain & refute any misunderstanding if possible
3. last cleanup

And then disengage.

For me, the hardest part is learning to give others the last word even when they are saying things that I interpret as mean to me and to my friends and others i repsect.
