While I am not directing this at you, I can say that most of those I see on GFY or boards in general who worry about people 'liking them' are unsuccessful, or make little money. However, they will routinely use some of the following keywords in their rebuttals....
being popular, liked, respected, morals, etc. while saying the other is hated, and so on.
It is typically a dead give-a-way to any level of 'success' they think they have. While not always true, it is more often than not. Business people do not care about being 'liked'. It's about making money. Keep your eye on the ball.

Smart business people don't go out of their way to annoy all and sundry either.
All things being equal, would you rather do business with someone who comes off as a jerk or someone rather more personable and/or ethical?
Those who are truly focused on making coin know better than to needlessly place obstacles between themselves and their goals
