The evil we choose to see (long rant)

The Internet loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves to expose a person's hypocrisies, and then feed on it like piranhas around blood. It's just the way it is unfortunately. You want to become the most hated man on the Internet? Act with behavior perceived to be hypocritical.

Is it the best way to judge a person? IMO : No : if you look hard enough, you can find a hypocracy with potentially everyone you interact with. Feeding off hypocracy is behavior that is self-serving in that it only succeeds in raising your perceived value by lowering the value of another. It's much better to look at people in terms of both : where they bring their value and how [some guys it's their charisma that lights up a room, which is why guys with "high charisma" can "get away with it"], and also in how you can personally bring your own value to the world w/o thinking about trashing someone else's. Or at least not thinking about how belief A and action B might be coming from areas of different circumstance.

As pointed out in this thread, Scot Pollard was welcomed into joining Michele's AMA with Julia. The fact that they get along that well, as "a bully and a just a bad person off the island", speaks volumes about how trusted he is, at least in the eyes of some of the cast.
