Nah. Maybe a bit mean on occasion, though that's a lot less these days. Definitely cynical and sarcastic on occasion. Bad taste, possibly. Don't agree with most of his political views. Definitely not a bad person.

He keeps people awake at all hours of the night, when they should be sleeping!

Well, yeah, but he's got that thing for red-heads, so short of murder, he stays on the "positive" side in my book.

I used to dislike him quite a bit because, well, sometimes you just don't like a person, but now I think he's a pretty good guy. I disagree with his politics (and vice versa I'm sure) but he's intelligent, has a good sense of humor, and I agree with him about redheads.

Because when you interact with people, even in an online forum, you have reactions to them, and those reactions form the basis of an opinion, which grows over time and through circumstance?

That can be true even when you meet someone in person, though. I mean, yes, it's more difficult to keep a deception going if you're face-to-face friends. But people aren't open books just because you meet in person rather than online. I've had people I've known for years and years who I honestly would say I don't know well.
I also think opinions we form about people we "know" online aren't fixed. The opinion I have of some people I know only online has changed over time in a number of directions. There was one person I met on a forum for military spouses who instantly rubbed me the wrong way. She went by BattleBuddy and I figured she was some shriveled old colonel's wife who bled Army camo. She's now a very good friend who turned out to be my age and a huge geek. If my opinion of her was not malleable, I would never have believed she could be a nice person let alone someone I'd want as a friend.

Gasbandit is more selfish than he needs to be, more stubborn than any two people need to be, and has grown up convinced that the only person he can rely on to come up with actionable, useful ideas about how to do anything is himself, though the most likely reason for the strength with which he believes this is no doubt due to how often it seems to come true. Also, his shame detector is broken, causing it not to sound the alarm until his situation has progressed deep into the red. Does this make him a bad person? Yes, according to many. But do these characteristics also predispose him to success in positions of responsibility and leadership? Yes, again, and then some. Did he recently get a glimpse at the meaning behind John Donne's words? Probably, and perhaps that'll dull some of the pricklier parts of his personality. I do not begrudge him his predilections, as I have no standing to do so. I do expect that the longer he spends in his cask, the more mellow he will ultimately emerge, though he'll still pack a whallop.

Also, I'm not much of a baseball fan.

I don't know man. I'd buy Chrysler stock right now. I think the Jeep Renegade is the smartest move Jeep ever made. It fills a niche they've been trying to fill for years. It's relatively good on gas mileage, it's unique to look at like the Wrangler, and unlike the Compass and Patriot, it's actually capable of towing and going off-road. And it's really just a re-dressed Fiat 500L.

One problem that Chrysler and Dodge have is their transmissions. For the last 15 years, around 75,000 miles, you're going to need a new transmission. And that really isn't a lot of mileage for today's cars.

Yes. 3 square feet would be a surface 3 feet by 1 foot. In this case it really is as simple as 3 feet x 3 feet = 9 feet^2. It just seems wrong because 9 feet is mentally huge, compared to a 3 x 3 area.
