I don't think it's a natural human reaction, IMHO. Maybe that is because I am Canadian. I dunno. I believe in the "live and let live" philosophy, and that has saved me from many headaches. Of course I have my own opinions, but I usually try to be as diplomatic as possible. That is the way I was raised, and think that the world is often sadly lacking in that quality. Being humble...accepting humility.
