@MDT 

All of it has a part to play: the reflective part, the empathy and analytical parts, the 'do not dwell' part.  It has been good knowing you over these years.  Colleagues are often non collegial, sometimes its competitiveness, or venting or just a bad day. Deal with the direct comments internally or without as you come to decide.  We all want to be loved but there is a pretty short supply out there in the hustle and bustle. Make the most of it in the places you find it.

Hey @Jacques Love to you too. You are empathic like Hams, and so many other qualities as well.
