I've been working on this since I was a teen: learning to be precise, but concise, and let it go.
Still haven't mastered it, and if let loose I'll write a wall of text or start talking about all the ramifications and dependencies, then worry about any misunderstandings... but over the years, I've learned that understanding works both ways.
If something I write or say, can have two, three, or more interpretations, and someone directly picks the worst and most offensive one, then goes on the attack... they can f off. I can learn, I can clarify, and extend the benefit of the doubt to others, but refuse to be a punch bag (...and it still takes some effort to not respond in kind).
