Dogmatic rigid "true believer"? "Bernie's personality is not warm and fuzzy. He can get angry. He has an edge because he is so committed. He can laugh at himself at times."
Doesn't sound like a guy I'd want to have a meal with or spend any time with. He is not a people person. I'm a people. Aren't you a people too?
He has always come across to me as a very angry agitated aggravated dour sourpuss. Some folks are drawn to that. I'm withdraw from it. Different strokes.
