"A soft answer turneth away wrath." Does it?

Asked by Jeruba (56268points) December 28th, 2017

Proverbs 15:1 says: “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.” (KJV)

In your experience, does a calm and gentle response to someone’s expression of anger defuse the anger? Have you ever tried it? Example, please.
