How far are we progressed towards earth-orbit solar cell stations with dumpable power cashes in the form of batteries?

Hey there!
My question is do any of you guys know a good way to help calm down a triggered SJW so they can express themselves more rationally and peacefully - without coming off as to much of a jerky jerk-person?

Well, I have been doing that - and it doesn't work and my classmates patience is weening by the day. We're probably just dealing with an asshole.
I was just hoping you'd have some unorthodox trick to use seeing as you deal with outspoken and argumentative people on the regular.
It's probably just time to shut them down in favor of everyone else's peace of mind.
Our greatest strength as engineers is teamwork after all.
Thanks for the replies :)

Yeah I hear ya - SJW is certainly becoming curseworthy, although we both knew exactly what I meant when I said it, so... effective word :/
I've found the empathic approach to understanding their passion/anger to work well with reasonable people.

I suppose I'm asking if you have any clever strats to calm a person that just enjoys being angry, and in a public setting, i.e my college class (engineering). Everyone hates when they 'go off' and aren't as tact in silencing the rage as I wish to be.
