Claiming that local man Mark Winston just gets a bad rap from the people who pay attention to him, sources reported Monday that Winston is actually a nice guy once you learn to ignore him. “His whiny voice and negative attitude don’t bother you much once you start to block him out completely,” said friend Robert Payne, as he declined a call from Winston and subsequently hid all of Winston’s Facebook posts from his newsfeed. “People have a habit of judging others too quickly. In my opinion, that’s wrong. You shouldn’t judge a man until you’ve had the chance to repeatedly reject his invitations to grab a meal together, or been forced to make up an excuse about why you couldn’t go to his birthday party.” At press time, Payne was rapidly pressing the “door close” button on the elevator as Winston approached.
