If you learned that your conduct negatively impacts a high percentage of others (on a Q&A website, for example), would you change it?

Why or why not?

    Yes but only if it is explained why they feel upset and their reasons are reasonable, I am quite sure I have upset a few here over religion but until they can explain why religion should not be criticized, then it is their problem, not mine.

    Yes, many zealous people on both sides of the religious coin. 

    Thanks for your reply!

    I say a lot of things that are obnoxious but, if I thought I said something that might really hurt a number of people on here, I would change my conduct.  I don't have any interest in abusing people I don't know.  I have enough people in RL I do that with, and find a great deal of satisfaction in.

    You enjoy abusing people? I find that hard to believe. You seem so sweet! ;)

    Thanks for your reply. Have a fantastic day!

    Too vague.

    It depends on why I am being taken to task.

    If I am being mean-spirited then I need to change.

    If I am surrounded by a sea of idiots, that is their problem not mine.

    Fair enough. 

    I wouldn't personally surround myself by a sea of people I consider idiots, but to each their own. :)

    NO one PURPOSELY does this.  Did you ever have a job where you did NOT like everyone?  Something tells me this is not an isolated event only happening to me.

    I was thinking in terms of the example I gave in this question. I wouldn't be a member of a site, such as this, if I felt I was surrounded by a sea of idiots. If I wanted that experience, I'd go over to Similar Worlds. 

    Luckily, I've never felt completely surrounded by a sea of idiots at any job I've worked. I've had co-workers who I didn't like, and more than a few who weren't terribly bright. Even so, if I learned that the manner in which I conducted myself negatively impacted a large number of my co-workers, I am considerate enough of others to attempt to change my behavior/conduct.
