All that said, you do have a point, and I'll refrain from saying that I'm a kind and openminded person that people tend to (as opposed to always) enjoy working with.

I posted incorrectly. It is not 100% universal, but I'll bet it's a lot more than you might think. I've spent the last 40 years, getting along with some of the most difficult people on Earth. In fact, many of them are ones with a history of violence, and it's always a good idea to be polite in that kind of company.

Geeks are easy, after that.
