Well, that's the thing, isn't it? A person can be an absolute poop-head at
one time, and be perfectly rational at another. It's easily possible to 'make
friends' with someone who, at first, had no respect for you at all! But,
often times, people will simply not be able to see the good in a person (or net)
because the poop stinks so very much. And who wants to stay in a stinky,
poop-filled room?
As always, it's all a matter of perspective.
