I fall into the pits often myself. Rather than zen-like like I should, I use filter. Here's an experiment, re-read all the posts on this thread. Block out certain posters. Now see if your reaction to the thread remains the same. Chances are it's less incendiary. I could be wrong of course, but give it a try. My LUG enjoyment goes way up after using this trick.
