I have to point out, Toaster, that these statements are also opinions, not facts.
For my part, I do not think having strong emotional responses *in themselves* remove or hinder the ability to use logic and reasoning to guide one's actions. I think they *often* do, but that's correlation, not causation.
I think having emotional responses is not a value-laden experience, in itself. I do think that if one is unable to take one's emotional temperature, realize it's a bit too high for level-headed negotiation, and employ a self-soothing mechanism to take one's emotions down a level... well yeah, that is "bad" for negotiation. But feeling them in the first place does not somehow make a person stupid or incapable of making a good decision.
