In a recent post, another poster here remarked that Ed's middle initial "J" should stand for "jackass" given the way Ed has acted when this poster has met him. This has made me think a little bit about how nice Ed is. I met him one time in 2003 by chance out in public, and although he was nice enough to let me get a picture with him, he hardly said anything and wouldn't let a friend of mine get a picture too. Similarly, I've heard from a few reliable, die-hard Live fans that he has completely ignored them in favor of spending time with strippers, and was essentially a total jerk.
On the other hand, I've heard a lot of stories about how nice he is and how his silence is really just due to shyness. I suspect that most of the people he is nice too, though, are females. So, what's the verdict? Is Ed a nice, shy guy who doesn't like to be bothered by fans, or can he be a jerk? Please support your claims with evidence!
