easyflyer I could not agree more with you!
Equally someone mentioned personal life should not come into the workplace. I could not disagree more. Taking flightdeck for example, two crew sat doing very little but monitoring during the cruise, yikes it would be a very dull atmosphere if all we could discuss was work related topics. No wonder us pilots get tarnished as being utterly boring socialisers!!
Even colleagues whom I have no real time for I would still make effort to discuss something beyond work to find a common ground and at least try and build a good working relationship to ensure the job gets done safely with a friendly open atmosphere.
So no, for me doesn't matter who you are, what you are, how you are - be yourself and be proud and let people admire you or hate you for who you are. If they are not professional enough to 'work around that' how would they expect to be 'worked around' themselves. Nobody is perfect and not everyone is the others cup of tea.
