Just a FTR, for those that are unclear, the things Kes says here (on CDC) he doesn't mean personally, he's a nice dude for the most part. He doesn't take what you say about him seriously, you shouldn't either.
Easier said than done but try not to let him get under your skin. He's like a Burrows, he'll try to get under your skin and try to get your mind set on gunning for him next game (taking you away from playing your own game). Is that a good analogy?
