It's almost as though you're implying that some people put on an aggressive and churlish persona when they're on the internet to cover up a wide spectrum of insecurities and social inadequacies.

People on the internet being aggressive and dumb because they hate their life? Never!

Preview of the article:
The Misconception: Venting your anger is an effective way to reduce stress and prevent lashing out at friends and family.
The Truth: Venting increases aggressive behavior over time.
You do realize the exercise I am referring to is taking a walk. And doing parkour which has 0 aggressiveness in it. (Believe it or not I rarely get angry, but I train anyway because it is fun.)
Though this may not be pointed at me though XD

I have ADHD, and at least for me, it is impossible to stay angry for more than a few minutes. I can't explain it, but my brain doesn't allow me to hold on to feelings for long at all.

1. Try meditation or other relaxation techniques. they really work. Just take a deep breath and try to remove yourself mentally from whatever attachment that you have that is leading you to get angered.
Two very real points i would like to make.
as a biologist i have seen some suggestions that there is evidence that men have a cycle. I mentioned this to my ex and she laughed at me and was like "DUH, you always fight at work in late winter. Your much quicker to anger .... etc. etc." So it is late winter, perhaps you are just responding to your yearly cycle.
Second point. Sudden changes in emotional character can be the result of physical changes like the above mentioned hormonal changes, only they can also indicate more serious issues. Brain tumors, and shifts in the biochemical make up of your brain can bring on very pronounced changes in behavior. If you continue to suffer from increased emotional duress you should probably see someone about it.
Likely it has more to do with your current situation than anything serious though. Relax more in your spare time, sleep in, take hot baths, watch comedy on tv etc.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I tend to force myself to calm down by controlling my breathing. Then later, I think about why I got anger, and think if there is any way to look at it that makes me less angry (like looking at it from the other person's point of view). If it's something I can understand, I let it go. If it's something that is still annoying me, I try to figure out a way to solve it. If it can't be solved, I sigh and accept it.
I don't like getting angry because it's a loss of control. Plus I have a pretty aggravating job so I need to be able to put it aside.

I've always found 'surpise sex' to be much more fun when the 'volenteer' has no clue what is going on.  But different strokes for different folkes and all that jazz.

Generally, I go for a very long run.
If I'm really pissed, there is an all night MMA gym nearby that enables me to empty my anger onto whoever happens to be around. Nothing takes the anger away like a good fight.
Oh, also, booze.

I watched a documentary on philosophy and anger just yesterday. It was really good.
Seneca on Anger http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6877249402964035542 (~25mins)
It is one of six parts in this series. Highly recommend.

It depends on weather it is an individual or an organisation.
If it's an individual I usually just walk away and depending on how much I like them I may or may not forgive them.
If it is an organisation I load up old USB flash drives with as many viruses as I can get on them and leave them around the car park of their head office. Hey presto revenge.

I do the same thing when I am hurt, sick, stressed, angry, bored, or depressed.
I go to sleep.
Some people think I have Narcolepsy, but I don't.
It's really embarassing when the boss is yelling at you, and you fall asleep at their desk.

Don't get stressed about this but that is the definition of narcolepsy.
It is falling asleep inappropiately when a certain stimulus occurs.
BTW If your boss yells at you then you have a crap boss.
