Bad wording on my part. The New Englanders' "tolerance" for fighting
means that they are more likely to do it (and not lose sleep over it).

That's funny I'm from New York
and I've noticed the exact opposite.
People in the south are more willing to disagree in
silence or better said let it go, while New Yorkers
are more likely to jump all over you if you say
something they don't like. Maybe it's an urban -rural
thing I've heard Houstonians will jump in quickly too.
