Social Skills of a Themonuclear Device?

While reading today's posts to the The Old New Thing, I followed his links for his tag "Social Skills of a Nuclear Device", and had a good laugh. I've been accused of this (in different terms) for a very long time. I am of two minds on this. Personally, I don't like being feared, but on the other hand, I don't want to deal with every single bullshit issue because I'm easy to deal with. We've already got a programmer who holds the "nice person" title, and she's buried every single day in calls she shouldn't have to handle. No thanks -- I get more programming done being a bomb :-)
