OH, BTW, really funny anecdote. The one guy likes me more now because I made a hilarious joke at his expense. I don't normally do that, but I sensed he was the type, and threw out a zinger. Then he laughed and now he's friendlier. Amazing how people work.

Unfortunately I think I have to just try to stop socializing and stick to work. The trouble is it is often slow and there isn't much to do and so things get chatty.

What? That's a problem? Ha, ha, sounds like a good problem to have.

A lesson in your advanced social life degree. Me, I've never graduated.

Unfortunately, a large number of people are in the mode of believing what they want to believe instead of relying on facts. As witness the recent US election...

Agreed, thank goodness for Wikileaks supplying the facts. ;)
