I mean no offense, but your comment and your tagline seem to be in conflict.

LOL. No offense taken.

I truly do not take business personally, nor do I expect other rational creatures to. Business is nothing more than a complex game to win dollars. Investing significant quantities of emotion into it betrays a lack of perspective and an absence of self-control. I've never personally seen a problem with this; both the men and women that I work with are tough as nails and have the appropriate attitude toward these kinds of things. Periodic losses are to be expected and nothing to be ashamed of.

My tagline has far more to do with my time spent arguing on FreeRepublic than as a view of business. It is little more than a wistful view of the passing of life, something to think about after a fine drink or two on any given evening.
