← Back to context Comment by duskdozer 2 days ago Is "emotional" here supposed to mean "bad" or "unreasonable" or the like? 2 comments duskdozer Reply PeterStuer 2 days ago It is not meant derogatory. How would I phrase this better (not native speaker)? Evoking strong feelings or passionate responses? duskdozer 1 day ago Those both would be fine, yes. Something like "Why do people feel so strongly about this?" feels more like you are just curious.Saying someone is "being emotional" can be seen as trying to paint them as irrational or overreacting.
