I'm not sure why you label his a "troll". It seems like a legitimate 
question to me.

After most quizzes, I show the class the median and mean. I have 
sometimes thought about displaying the further information mentioned 
above, but have desisted exactly because I'm concerned about hurt 
feelings.

I'd like to hear some comments from others on this.
