> People sucking up to you are not friends

I think you missed the part where I said the relationship is somewhat like employee-employer. I suspect you have never been an employee or employer and don't understand that such a relationship is based on professionalism and not friendship first and foremost.

Also I believe that it is hostile to characterize a professional relationship in the vulgar way that you have. Characterizing it that way will do little to sway others to your way of thinking, nor will it make me feel "bad" about anything I do. The internet is full of trolls, and I have become quite used to rhetoric like yours. I guess it's time for you to escalate with more vulgarity, so be my guest...
