Regarding the quote from Brigham Young, eliciting Rob's query:

Rob, this is Zna, sharing this~
From an LDS (Mormon) man:

Having a chip on your shoulder refers to one who is scrapping for a fight -
is easily offended by whatever. Translation: "He who is easily offended and
looks for trouble, has wood for brains"

Relates to another quote he made. "He who is offended when no offense was
made, is a fool. He who is offended when offense IS made, is even a greater
fool"
