But he acts like an uncle Tom, always laughing and snickering, trying not to offend anyone, massaging his own comments so that everybody just luuuves his company.
He is a good man and I like him but his efforts to be inoffensive to the nth degree sometimes make me a little ill.

He is not someone whom I would like to have represent me in a debate or anything with an important outcome.
