EVWorld.com's Bill Moore – A Gentleman in an All-Too-Crude World

When I did this Skype-based interview with EVWorld.com editor Bill Moore the other day, I was again reminded of the regional differences in culture in our country.  Yes, it’s cliche’, but Bill’s from Omaha, and people from places like that really do tend to be honest, unpretentious, mean-what-you-say types. And, although I did most of the talking in the interview, I think his genuine nature comes across immediately.

I receive proof of Bill’s gentlemanliness constantly.  When I go to conferences and introduce myself to people who don’t know 2GreenEnergy, I quickly mention EVWorld (it’s been around since the mid-1990s) and I tell them that I’m proud to be Bill Moore’s partner in the enterprise.  I’ve yet to meet anyone who didn’t instantly respect me for having had the common sense and good taste for having come on board.

I’m at a loss to understand the downside of this understated way of life, nor the upside of being a loudmouth nouveau riche jerk.  I know there are people who want to act like Charlie Sheen or Lindsay Lohan, but I just can’t understand why.
