It can be unproductive when you lose your cool based on a misunderstanding. Consider the case of Donald Trump. He was on his way home from a meeting with leaders in Asia. When Airforce One landed in Honolulu, Trump became enraged when the President of Hawaii was not on hand to greet his plane. After his aids patiently listened to his tirade, they were able to calm him down and explain that the Hawaiian President was stuck in traffic.
Take a deep breath and may the 4th be with you.

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Re: Stay calm about misunderstandings
Well ocean bird dude, I'm glad to see I took your advice before even receiving it. I haven't had any big rants as of late, but all the "deep breaths" I took on the 4th certainly provided lots of calm, hyperbole and pleasant moments.
