The Mudcat is made up of people. As they say: people are people. It is just as illogical to imagine that all Mudcatters are fabulous as it is to imagine that they are all bad. Therefore it makes sense to consider that they may cover the entire range in varying percentages. I think it may still be safe to say that Bill Sables and I have probably met more Mudcatters than anyone else. I am sure he will agree that most of them were quite pleasant encounters. Many turned out to be exactly as they appeared to be online. Some were even nicer. But in light of what was said above, it would be unrealistic to say that none of them were, at least at times, disagreeable. But to answer your question I would have to say, no. I am not sorry in the least to have met any 'Catter. By doing so I have learned much more about them, some good; some bad. I learned enough to get a sense of who I would like to hang out with and who to avoid. This is really no different than the way in which most people process acquaintances.
