i have tried different means,but the best so far has been to give back more than what he or she can throw at you, knowing very well that you are irritating the other person more, but it works

I don't really understand what you are trying to say in your post? Do you mean to say that when someone is angry, you will try to make that person even angrier than what he/she is, and that is how it works? Gosh~ That will only work for short term, and the person will still be angry with you after that arguement even though he/she appears to have let you won. In that way, the anger will accumulate and in the end, when the next arguement comes, it will get more and more heated with past incidents being brought up. That is even worse! I sure would not want to be in that situation. The best way to handle an angry person is just to keep quiet and let the angry person let off all the steam. An angry person will never listen, no matter what you try to say or do. It had been scientifically proven that our listening part of our brain shuts off when we are angry, and that is why angry people tends to be unreasonable, and the more you try to pacify the person the angrier the person becomes. So I would suggest: 1. Keep quiet, let the person talk and scream and whatever. 2. Acknowledge what is being said. The most important thing is to keep calm, speak calmly and just listen! Sooner or later when he/she realise that you are not responding, they would eventually calm down, and that is the time whereby they would be ready to listen! Well, I hope that this helps! Take care!

sorry but I have tried this approach and the result is the person will think it's OK for him/her to get mad at you because you will just keep quiet. If you do not respond when he/she is angry, you should say that this behaviour is unacceptable by you when he/she is already calm.^^

EXACTLY, patience does not work well always, sometimes impact works, give in equal or more measure so that let the other understand you are not to be taken for granted

You know i have learned that when someone vents out anger, they have this FEAR inside them which instead of saying straight out they cover it with being angry. So dont be surprised with the yelling and all the bad words that can come out, instead focus on whats causing her/him that way. See beyond words. It sure takes a great amount of efforts to do just that, but keep your cool.

it depends on the situation.. some ways are best to give it back to them so they wont feel victory and will realize that they are coming off as jerks and then some times its better to mess with their minds into getting them to agree with you and feeling stupid.. of course you would have to be right and not the angry person..

LOL... An emotionally explosive person are usually very hard to be handled and I had troubles with these type of people too. I usually do not do anything and just let him be emotional but they say the best way is to fight back. I dunno.. Most of the times I just avoid them as much as I could. ^^

It all depends on the person. If the person is someone who is getting angry always, best thing is not to make him angry. But if you think he take it for granted at one good occassion you can scold him bad with much more anger than him. He will never get angry with you again if you succeed in that way. But if some person who hardly gets angry, gets angry by any chance, you must keep mum and let him or her to release his anger. There are people who gets angry very quickly but do not keep it for sometime. Just ignore their anger. After all you must be very careful with people who keeps their anger forever.

I usually let the angry person get his/her steam off. After he/she has released his/her anger, I would try to talk to the person and ask him/her the reason for his/her reaction. Throwing things is not the answer so whenever a person tries to throw things, I would tell them that I would call the police or have them arrested if they persist in throwing something at someone.

I think diamond do not cut the diamond as like repression cannot be defused by repression. It need some thing else. For me when the situation is hot it is better to slip away from the scene for a while and come back smiling to see the anger calm down and then discuss and solve the problem. This things would smooth.
