Are You Easily 'Triggered'?

If so, why?
I ask simply because many of my posts here elicit angry responses, and I don't know why. I mean, ALL I do is challenge widely-accepted beliefs that to me seem insane. It's nothing personal, but people take it that way. It's almost as though they can't handle the thought, the mere possibility, of being wrong about something. Are their egos really so fragile?
That's not me in the photo, by the way.

No.

I will express my disagreement openly, but I don't react with insults and hostility, which is how I choose to interpret "triggered".

I notice that there's a certain tendency among some to react to ideas different from their own by accusing the person presenting them of being brainwashed, an idiot, and then focusing in on their age, their writing style, or something else completely unrelated to what they're expressing. Anything to distract from the fact that they've been unsettled by exposure to a different worldview.
