Is Ed a jerk?, Some say yes, some say no.... Options

[andthelettuce]

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!

I met Ed the 2nd time I saw Live, in 2001. I was at the front of the stage and during a couple songs I was TOTALLY convinced he was looking at me. After the show I shook his hand and he gave me a big smile and said he'd seen me during the performance and that I looked like I was having a good time. (I am pretty noticeable because I have pink hair.) Looking back, that may have been kind of creepy, since I was only 16, but whatever.

That was the only time I got to meet Ed. At the other shows I've been to I've met the other guys, and everyone, particularly Adam and Pat, have been super nice and really fun to chat with. Adam is kind of like a nicer, cuter, but slightly less talented version of his brother.

That is too funny!! I am also enjoying reading everyones stories. I have had the pleasure of meeting the boys twice. The first time in AC. Standard meet and greet everyone got a chance to take pictures with them. We had didn't talk that much mostly because I could barely speak. Felt like an idiot trying to get the words out without stuttering. Ed seemed nice enough put his big burly arms around me smiled big and showed those pearly whites. I was in heaven. Got home at 4:30am barely slept and went to work. I was soooo high on energy felt like I was on speed all day. It was an awesome feeling. Honestly Ed doesn't need to speak, I just wanna look at him and hear him sing. Second time was after the York Fair. Lucky enough to get invited to the after party. Ed seemed to be hiding in a corner with a few other people. I had a cool conversation with CG who was super nice. By the time I got up the nerve to go up to Ed
he was so shitfaced he could barely speak, however he did try, I really wanted another picture but decided the timing wasn't right. He was a nice drunk, man I'm happy to be female!!! I'm so dam happy I had both those experiences. Anyone who says they don't care doesn't know what their missing!
Hey doesn't Ed have a wife or doesn't that matter when your a Rock Star?? He does seem to like us ladies....yummy
Have to tell ya best celebrity meeting was last year met James Gandolfini, talk about NICE, OMG walked right up to him after a shoot. He was heading back to his trailer, again I can't speak, da da da duh duh, he saw my camera and asked me hey ya want a picture? I was like y...e....a what a bear hug I got from him, WHEW. Gotta love that Tony Soporano. He even excused himself and said he needed to go, sweet. and there you have it.
