[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 371305, member: 57984"] I think that's mostly it -- it's the same reason some people hate Mark or Jenna. It's true, though, that some people perceive niceness to be "weakness". And withhold their contempt for those who create a contrast to the Jocks and JRs and Alexises and Abbys and Angela Channings of the world (whose villainy is presumed to be "strength"). You gotta keep an eye on those folks. That said, Clayton Farlow was nice like Miss Ellie was nice. Kinda-sorta. So people don't hate him all that much... I mean, he's still a statured man with tons of money, which is how "nice" is often defined. Even if he's not usually as overtly mean as some would prefer. "Tough but fair" is Friendspeak (or Wifespeak) for: [I]the man's a bastard.[/I] [/QUOTE]
