I admit to being influenced by my circle of closer users quite often, and that likely shades my perception of Rock. As time has gone on, I've found Rock more and more difficult to relate to in terms of the APWT, which is where he and I predominantly interact. I don't want to call him a WWE apologist, as I don't think that's accurate, but he always feels to me as someone who is just on the opposite side of my positions enough to feel grating. I'm not saying I'm some sort of perfect paragon of position that should be considered practically perfect in every way or anything, but Rock too often needles me with his posts. Purely unintentionally, I'm sure. Often, it seems as if he doesn't take something seriously when I need it to be taken seriously, and perhaps the opposite is often true. I also tend to be highly critical of WWE and very lax when it comes to new ideas which are innovative and fresh, while Rock seems to hew closely to what I feel is a staid, overly conservative (as an adjective not a political position) understanding of sports entertainment. And so I think our ideologies clash and I begin to resent him for it because that's just how I function. The less you agree with me, the more it pisses me off, and I start to become Mr. Nasty as a result.
