If you're telling me that a good person is never disrespectful to anyone, I disagree with you. With no context as to when he was "rude" (in your friend's eyes), I have no way to evaluate that. I do evaluate his being charitable with his time and money, and being a caring father as qualities of a good person.

To say beung charitable makes someone a "good person" is just silly...so anyone who donates money to a couple of charities automatically becomes a "good person." That's a total farce IMO. How many criminals, crooks, embezzlers have donated money to charities? Are they all good people now?
Being good to those you care about (family, children etc) does not make you a "good person" but rather a good family man, father etc.
We each define what is good or bad in our own minds and you're certainly entitled to your oppinon in that regard.
For me it's a issue of giving each and every person a simple amount of respect, this was not important to Mr. Wallace in my eyes. Every Blazer I spent time around with the exception of Sheed and Bonzi was at least respectful to those around them 99% of the time.
