I have gifts but those that trained me had far more gifts.
Admiral Rickover interviewed me and selected me. That’s not my ego talking, that’s experience. Read about him and you will read about someone who pissed off every politician in DC but who was spared because he got sh*t done and because his program literally saved the United States as it was witnessed the Soviets saying they could not put a winning nuclear war plan together to destroy the USA because they couldn’t know where Rickover’s Boomers were. That’s a fact.
Learn to deal with abrasive difficult people. They might save your life or inform you so that you are aware of how to save your own.
I guarantee you Donald Trump pisses the hell out of a whole lot of people and it’s for a purpose. On the other hand, he could not be more gracious to people that are part of the plan.

There is no consideration, no contract before any group posting here. There is only information exchange with occasional bouts of disinformation and misinformation that are usually dealt with harshly. Therefore, there is no place for ‘people skills’ other than standard civility among humble participants. When however, a participant attempts to besmirch another without provocation, it is understood that participant may expect blowback. Other than trolls, I never launch attacks on other participants but will return them if they are thrown at me.
Ok, this matter is finished.
Ok, you let your brain tell you that. I'll let you know when I'm finished. Oh, btw, your name-dropping doesn't impress me.
And I certainly don't need you to tell me to toughen up and learn to deal with unpleasant people. If I had 1/188 of your braggadocio you'd know just how tough I am. But I don't need to impress you. And I don't even care who you are IRL. So we're even.
Oh, and PS- there you go using “humble” again. Don’t you just hate it when someone uses a word and it’s painfully obvious that they don’t understand the word? Hate it when that happens!
Just gotta have the last word, eh?
I get the last word around here, mister.
p.s. There's more to this than "information exchange". We are not robots or computers. Well, I'm not anyway.
This matter is closed.

Stop borrowing prestige from Rickover.
Expertise in one field does not confer worth in another.
