In this new "feels good generation" I suppose you are supposed to disguise all

Frankly, I hail from a time when you were tested and knew your worth, from then
on you went about your business, independent of others expectations or demands.

Back then, it was considered poor form to not allow others their personal
opinions, beliefs and prejudices.

Since I made it though that time, I accepted that NOT all others could be
expected to "like" me, indeed, I have never found the occasion where another
mans' opinion either "makes me" or "breaks me."

Dang! There goes Steve's wishful theory.

And, tools have been provided
to me by my creator (whether that creator hailed from a mud puddle or exists as
a GOD) and placed between my ears to allow me to realize all of this.

Now it seems, others expect to control the opinion one forms of them--the
future will see if they are successful or not... I think NOT!

Not!

Someone once wrote in here "gentlemen can disagree without
being disagreeable." Wonder who that was?

Henry Thoreau, if memory serves correctly.

Han's, I miss Hank. Never did catch his callsign, but he sure knew how
to act gentlemanly.

I've never met the guy, so it'd be pretty far fetched to suggest have a
"personal dislike" for him.

hardly after Stevei has never met and there is NO room for doubt that
he at least dislikes me

I certainly, however, disagree with a lot of his philosophy.
