    Hi Glen. How are you? Do you call yourself "Glenski" because you have Polish ancestry or do you just think it "sounds catchy"?

    I was just wondering what you would call someone who engages foreign coworkers in conversation and encourages them to tell him about their frustrations, dissatisfaction and etc in their work and then report what they say to management? Do you still do that?

    BTW You are aware of how intensely almost all the foreigners who know you dislike you, aren't you?

    And if I may engage in a little amateur psychology..... If you don't want anyone to reply to me why do you yourself reply to me but them delete my quote? I think you crave my attention but don't want anyone else to notice it. Sorry to disappoint you but I have to tell you I am 100% heterosexual and even if I weren't, I intensely dislike you anyway!

    Hmmmmmm I thought I made it perfectly clear that i wasn't his friend..... He drinks beer like a little girl! Perhaps that has something to do with his suppressed homosexuality. Just speculating because I really wouldn't know about that.
