I'm not emotional. You are wrong that everyone is emotional to some degree. Your rules are also wrong in certain cases. I would say more in email. Too far off topic here.
I'm looking out for the blind spots of all my teammates who are deluded into lionizing a propagandist because they thought he was entertaining on TV or have problems relating to death. I love my teammates so much that I'm willing to do this even though their pain around death and stupid conventions make them not like it. Like some sort of 21rst century Bodhisattva, I'm sacrificing my accumulated karma points to help all beings on hacker news. :)
When I worked with people on hospice, my clients seemed to really like me because most people treated them like they were dying or already dead and I naturally treated them like they were still alive. So my atypical reaction to the taboo about death isn't all bad. Dying people really liked that I wasn't emotionally affected by their death (they know their dying, they don't want everyone to be constantly reminding them of that by the way they act, because then their death costs them the rest of their human interaction too). But the survivors and mourners of dead people? Not so much into my attitude (except the ones that saw me work with their loved ones, and the nurses).
