These traits are often imitated by politicians to no avail.

The real stuff? Like art, you know it when you see it.
By thier well intentioned words there are obviously many people of integrity here but I have only met one. That says more about my psychology when most people here congregate together at get aways numerous times for a decade or more.

The "mudcatter" I met, not only spoke well of the founders but of the dearly departed great minds that once mingled here.
The ethics this person had were alien to me. When I asked if they wanted to post something in this forum they said "Oh no, not on your cookie" In fact I was told when people at their house post on the mudcat they are sure they have their own browser with their own personal cookie. I don;t know from cookies but I felt that I had taken a bite of one and boorishly offered it for someone else to eat :^)

Some call it an old fashioned trait to be truthful all the time, but when it is being done you sense it. Many people run to the woods rather than admit to something but people of real character step up to the plate and deliver. This is not considered to be a good team player trait in a den of thieves and liars. Truthful people are called leakers, rats, boy scouts or dead men walking.

Nope, its good to see true character for a change. Honor, integrity, these are not qualities we have come to expect in our leaders. It is what we sometimes see in our common man or woman. Yes I may not get out much but it is important to know that these people exist and that at least one is here.
