Delayed response is also great to cool off heated discussions.

I've had this experience as well. Usually a five to ten minute wait is long enough for me to chill out and say something less inflammatory when things start getting bad.

I usually Notepad the reply and set an iPhone timer to remember sending. It's enough to chill out.
