Last week, we asked, "What do you think when someone has a strong negative reaction to your comments? (multiple answers were allowed)

11%  "They are obviously ignorant."

89%  "Maybe they have a point."

11%  "They have no manners."

11%  "I am embarrassed."

and a comment to this specific questoin was: "I have some kind of emotional reaction that requires time to adjust."

Comments about their experiences are over in the letters column.

This week's quiz is here.
