A... "rep"... is a company... "rep"resentative. I don't imagine the GP is saying he's going to call the rep nasty names, but it's good to let them know why he's taking his business elsewhere.

Yeah, I'd be fine with that. He doesn't come off as a jerk to me, but at least it's something I can understand. I just don't get how he could the word "toxic" could apply to him.
