> If for some reason I realize that during a communication thread, we are jumping on arguments with each other (or blaming each other). I will drop the communication right then and there. This is different from holding my position in a discussion. I will not engage in a conversation that is not productive. I will take a break and come back to it later.
disappearing quickly might not be seen/understood well. I suggest saying something like, "I need to take a few minutes to cool down" before disappearing
> tit-bits
generally the word is tidbits. I don't know if a dialect has morphoned into tit-bits... but if you didn't know, tit is a slang word for breasts in the US.
