Hey, I personally know John and went to prep school with him where we became good friends. John is extremely bright, with a very dry, witty sense of humor. Sometimes his humor is so dry you can't tell he's joking. John does not patronize nor condescend. He has the problem of the extremely bright, people often can't follow what he's talking about. Now, that all said, John's foundational personality is fine, but 20 years of butt kissing by TMO and women throwing themselves at him might have changed him a bit!
