I've noticed a lot of people don't recognize the difference between cooling off and ignoring. A lot of people argue that cooling down is ignoring. I see the differences.

Ignoring is, not telling the other person you need a minute to cool down. Ignoring is walking away from an argument, coming back and expecting everything to be better when you haven't fixed anything.

Cooling down is letting a person know you are going to take a minute to cool off. When coming back, you are ready and willing to fix things and improve whatever needs to be improved to avoid another argument and become more efficient.
