I'd rather not devolve to the glaring-furtively-across-the-room stage at the same event with several of these folks. I can get my social needs met in venues where my enemies are fewer... but that limits my choices. And if one of them shows up, I may bow out of an event that I'd already planned to attend... I prefer not to spend a social event in constant wariness.
Diversity in friends is good... but I don't like one friend because of a quality and like another friend for *not* having that quality... the more opposites WRT each other, the less likely that two given people will both be friends of mine.
