Having read a bit about Bader and meet people that knew him to the extent of lived next to him etc he was not an overly pleasant individual. However in his defence having read what his second wife replied to an interview on Bader’s rudeness, it was that he was unaware of his abruptness or rudeness and would have been upset if thought so. A bit difficult to believe that someone somewhere had not pulled him up on this during his life. I guess you could say it’s a bit like the saying “when your dead you don’t know your dead, it’s those around you feel the pain. Which is the same as when you’re stupid you don’t know you are but those around you,,,,,,,,,,”
