The higher you go, the quieter, slower, more calculated people are. There's a difference between an emotional, like an aggressive reaction, and a thoughtful response. I had a guy that reacted to a friend the day after, and he said, "I didn't want to say anything in front of you, but I've been thinking about it and I just think you should keep your distance." My response was, "Thanks for letting me know it." The guy who reacted has no idea that that closed a door that he never saw.
