I hate being told not to be nervous when I'm feeling really anxious. It's like telling someone who walks with crutches to not be a cripple. Reassurance is good, and knowing the interviewer is fine letting me take my time. Although I'm getting long in the tooth now, less bothered about stuttering, and if I was obviously disrespected at a job interview I'd probably walk out.
