Please don't make the error of mistaking optimism, kindness, or politeness for weakness or stupidity.

My post had nothing to do with any of this.

All I was pointing out was that being excessively boastful and claiming that everyone, without exception, finds working with you "enormously fulfilling" is just unbecoming. I feel like many will find that distasteful and you should leave other people to rate their interactions with you. I doubt there's a single person in the world who has a 100% success rate with regards to positive social/professional experiences with others...

I could have definitely worded it more politely and honestly if this account was tied to my personal name I probably would have worded it more politely, so you've got me there :)
