Tough call to pick the best of this group, my list would be a lot longer.
You should come to the next meet opportunity and find out just how solidly good these guys here are.
You’re probably right, only basis I have are from posts that I‘ve seen obviously.
Thanks for the meeting offer but I’ve been through that and some southern stuff doesn’t sit well with me (yes I know we’re in the south, I’ve been here on/off since 1990, but some ignorant shit I will never embrace)
There are multiple reasons I won’t make the effort. I don’t like envious people, I don’t like and don’t have time for bullshit inferiority or superiority complexes. Some might think I’m stubborn or strange or weird especially since I spend 1/4-1/3 of my time overseas and so I’m able to evaluate things at a different level and I don’t do well with local conformist bullshit, whatever it might be.
I have friends, family and employees at various levels of education, income, intelligence, etc. but to me a good person is not defined by any of those. There are good people and complete assholes at all levels, and those can change quickly based on different factors, needs and expectations.
We all gauge and assess things differently. That’s the conflict.
