Then I posit yours are rolling in their graves now with your nonsense in this thread.

I'm certain that's not true. They were hardcore conservatives, and I'm 100% positive yours were too.

You mean I suppose Protestant values. They weren't conservatives w.r.t. disrespecting the rule of the King of England or their independence from the North.

Well yes I grew up in the South (yet transferred to California for the final 3 years of high school) and it was much more conservative and even it has modernized, it is still the Bible Belt of conservative morals, yet my birth place New Orleans is also sin city.

In any case, I rejected all that in my youth. I was anti-rascist going against my grandmother's (on father's side) values, and I think she became less rascist in later years as influenced by the change in the attitudes of her grandchildren and children.

I am definitely not conservative on morals (my multiple parents were extremely liberal and even I rejected my mother's use of MaryJane which she hasn't smoked for many decades). I am conservative on fiscal issues and against big government. I actually love the hospitality of Southerners and I also love to do that for visitors. I am overly kind to strangers. I like to sit out on the porch and chitchat. Etc..

We all have our different personalities and I guess we will have to accept that yours and mine are different.

That's different, and you (should) know it. You keep your public life professional and your private life private.

I don't follow any archaic rules. I follow what seems to be working and adjust as needed.

You are correct that I totally reject that aspect of American culture.

This concept of a false veneer that we try to pretend we are in public, is to me an anathema to meritocracy.

That doesn't mean I am striving to be unprofessional. To me professionalism is about accomplishments. Professionals accomplish what they say they will. They work hard. The approach their job seriously and with complete dedication.

Hey if you want to see some unprofessional behavior, go watch some Synereo Hangouts. Wasting time going off on tangents and wasting time talking about extraneous personal jokes, far off topic anecdotes, etc.. You attacking my posting of a medical condition involving my balls is the epitome of unprofessional nonsense. I have tried to tell now that in my current circumstances, I have been unable to cure this condition over the past several years. And so I am desperate to try to find help on ideas about it. I received a very good idea from rangedriver, which I am experimenting with now.

Another reason I opened up more about my health, was because before there were posters in this forum accusing me of faking an illness. So before I withheld details of my health and was attacked. Then I post more details, and I am attacked.
