Chat ban yourself
I do agree with this. PvP has a lot of ego problems, people tend to forget this is a game and take things to seriously. Most the time I get a sour or salty player I just \laugh then block, not much to it.

Your saying that you can’t control yourself and are typing things you regret later? although I’m happy with your common sense to regret it later, I don’t think Arenanet has to deliver the solution for you. The true solution is self control to type it out.
I don’t PvP, but I do PvE.
Yesterday it was kessex hills event completion day. After all these months I would have expected that at the queen spider people know to destroy the coccons and avoid the red circles. But 45% died on the red circles all the time, another 45% was rezzing them and the other 10% was trying to dps the spider queen, who healed herself on the neglected coccon’s. So outloud in my living room I ranted and used some strong powerterms which I will not repeat here (although it would type out like -kitten- -kitten -kitten- kitten- anyways) In chat I just typed “pls destroy coccon’s guys”
They started to do that and the queen was dead 15 seconds later.
Bottom line, if you want to express anger, do it out loud in your room or write it down on a piece of paper. never in chat!
Arise, opressed of Tyria!

It is not workign this way, after that I still can write msg on chat.

Trust me, PVP is a whole different level.
I’ve never (or almost never) lost my temper at players in PVE (unless they have been verbally offensive to me, or someone else, first); but, I have in PVP, to the point where I decided to remove myself from it, in WoW.
It was never about people not being good enough – people can’t help that and I think I’m pretty patient in that way (I’m far from a perfect PVPer, myself).
It was mainly about people (most of whom knew better) just, intentionally, farming kills for achievements and totally ignoring objectives, despite being asked to help, repeatedly (and politely).
In the end, that can get to almost anyone.
In PVE, at least you know the opposition is just a mindless NPC and is, therefore, oblivious.
So, it’s far easier to just take it in your stride.

there is chat in pvp? I had no idea. I always have a tab up that shows only my incoming and outgoing damage numbers.
huh.
As was already suggested: Either look at your Combat tab or make a no chat tab, and/or simply practice some self control.
How about getting a numeric keypad and mapping the keys to the commands you will need then setting the keyboard aside?
Well, I suppose you could always call up a virtual keyboard and peck out the message one character at a time. That would be slow though and you would have time to think about what you are saying.
Rep your personal guild, set chat to guild. Type in anything you want when you want and no one will see it.
ANet may give it to you.
