That's very much not my experience.

Some people - not many, but enough to be a concern - are simply toxic. They're not reactively toxic. They're as toxic as they can get away with being with as many people as possible.

They don't respond to deterrents or analyse career or personal risks rationally because they just can't help themselves.
