If there's anyone who thinks you're ridiculous and pathetic, they've never mentioned as much in my hearing, and in fact, the impression I have of people's opinions of you is that you're widely respected. Admittedly, I don't get out much anymore, but the last time I heard you described, it was as "Highly intelligent but a bit overbearing." :-)
"Stoic suffering is for suckers" is a good mantra! Thanks for passing it along.
