Paul,

Well I guess this says it all:

>most people would rather kill themselves than face the smell.

This borders on mental illness. It's as if a doctor has a cure for your
particular fatal disease, but you don't like the guy so you allow yourself
and others to die because of simple, stupid pride.

What the hell do personalities have to do with it? What, do you tell your
boss you won't do your job because you don't like the guy you're working
with? And I suppose you'd tell your wife, "I'd rather you and the kiddies
starve than face the BS at work."

Attitude? Your attitude smells worse than any I've seen online yet. If I
only adopted ideas from people I could tolerate I'd never have made it
through high school and certainly never through college given the posturing
prima donnas that populate those halls. The only thing your note inspires
are the words, "grow up."

Later,

JoeL
