Your periodic remainder that telling upset people to "calm down" is not going to help to defuse the situation.

As a side note, I suspect this phrase only ever works in a situation where a person in a position of power can use their powers to silence the other person. Without helping the upset person.

@nina_kali_nina it's one of the most annoying things an upset person can hear.
In my case it also gives you the guarantee that if you silence me that way using power, I *will* remember and search for a way to sabotage you. Even years down the road.
