@pltrgyst defense, he and I butted heads many-a-time in the past online. But I've met him in person at multiple events and we've always gotten along quite well.
I too, have had people think one thing of me, based on either online interactions only (or from what others said of me in the past) and then they met me and we got along famously.
Likewise, there are folks I butted heads with for my first few years in the community and I get along fine with them now. We don't always see eye-to-eye on things, and sometimes I'm wrong and sometimes they're wrong, and sometimes we're both wrong.
But at the end of the day, life is too short to feed into the negativity.
