I have a rather nasty temper sometimes. I have learnt to control mine by seeing the signs that a rage is coming on and stopping it before it takes hold.
Also notice the things that make you angry and realise even before the signs of rage manifest that this might lead to a rage.
When I realise these things I immerse myself in logic and open mindedness. Often arguments are illogical and by applying logic to both sides it invariably cools the situation.
Also important is to remind yourself to be open minded and accept that everyone has their own opinions and have been presented with different information over their lives than you have which will lead to them drawing their conclusion, lol, even if they are wrong and behaving like buffoons.
Works for me, hope it helps you.
