Rick, Join the club. You say, "chill out and relax" and you get the wild interpretation of "get giddy and chummy". This is the kind of bitter dialogue that used to be rare and now is common.

Like I said, for these people, unless you type in CAPITAL LETTERS with lots of !!!!!!!!! and demanding answers and insulting people, your comments are not valid.

Like you, I am in sales and consulting. I need to deal with very difficult people all the time and from some I need extensive cooperation. You are obviously a seasoned salesperson. Because in this field, you learn to do your work very well and get as much cooperation as is necessary to ensure success of your project. That usually entails smoothing the way when possible. And you know what? Sometimes the people who would have shut the door on your face suddenly invite you in for a serious, intelligent discussion and even more business. But at least then you know the ground rules and more information than you did before. A pissing match rarely ends that way.

It is much better to develop a genuine mutual respect between parties which encourages honest dialogue. Differing views can live in that environment. But all parties need to agree to this concept.

Good luck to you.

Tom F.
