For me, I grew up with a parent way too much like him. As such, I told myself as an adult, I didn't need to take that shit, so I didn't.

My Mom, for all of her positives, was much like CFI. Very smart and short of patience. With a bend towards negative reinforcement.

Trust me, for all of his knowledge, I had issues getting past the delivery. He put me on the defensive and that isn't right. I should have taken a higher road, yes, but at the same time, why must I adjust for every strange personality?

I will not deny he helped a lot of people. And perhaps I could have learned more from him if not for my own issues.
