If you are this incensed about having to work with a buyer's agent, then if you actually do sell to someone who has an agent, you are a hypocrite.

If you want to sell to someone who does not have an agent, then do that. It might take longer. You might not get what you want out of it. Some people, maybe most people, won't come to see your house. But, when you finally do sell it to someone, you will have stuck to your guns and not paid for an agent. That is the choice that you have to make.
