This is maybe an inconsequential thing, but it is becoming really grating how so many people have become accustomed to prefacing their criticism with meaningless platitudes like "he's a nice guy, but..." It is so obviously a cover for the weakness of the argument, and used as a way to deflect or dismiss valid counterpoints. Especially in an instance like this, when it is applied to a public figure that likely none of us have met, or spent sufficient time with to make an informed opinion about his character. The assertion about how "nice" Treliving may or may not be is even less informed than our opinions about how he goes about doing his job.
