This is an excellent approach to maintaining calmness in tense situations. I think of it as a fire, where you decide whether to douse it with water (a calm response) or to pour on petrol (a heated response).
I'm happy to hear you enjoy these! Your metaphor is very apt, I don't think a heated response has served me well, and typically felt like pouring petrol on a fire - WHOOSH!
I enjoy your weekly briefs. Thanks Coltin!
