Summary

This quote suggests that people tend to disagree with an opinion not necessarily because they disagree with the content itself, but rather because they find the way in which it was expressed disagreeable or off-putting. It highlights how the tone and delivery of an opinion can heavily influence how it is perceived and received by others. Therefore, it implies that sometimes conflicts arise not due to differing views, but due to the manner in which those views are presented.
