How do you handle it when someone gets angry with you?
More specifically, what do you think I should do when an irrational, anonymous someone loses his temper, and I am ridiculed and called names...

What do you do?

Depends on who is angry and whether or not I deserve it. If I don't, I either leave them alone and let them calm down, or I try and find out exactly why they're mad. If I do deserve it, I usually wait a few minutes until I'm no longer stupid, and then I apologize.
That is, of course, in the case that I like the angered individual and actually care what they think of me. If I don't like the person, I really don't care if they're angry at me.
Anyway, hope summer stresses ease up on you.
I'd shoot them in the face.
Violence is not the answer. When someone is angry at me, I try to understand WHY they feel the way the feel. If, after listening, I don't believe that their position is justified, then I state my own position clearly and leave.
Seems like you're dealing with it by sharing your frustrations with your friends. Good move.
By the way, thanks for your entry to my contest. Really creative.
Nick: thanks for the shock.
I don't think I'll follow your lead on this one. I think I agree with anonymous. But you're still my bff!
Arynne: I appreciate your comment. We should hang out sometime this summer.
Chad: Your little contest was so cool!
