Excellent post, batfinx.
Unlike Lois, Pete was completely devoid of any sort of personality. He was boring. Personally I'd take Lois over Pete any day.
People must have thinner skins than me because I don't get Lois' humor as "cruel" or "nasty" or whatever. She's refreshingly blunt and says what she means. Sometimes she's a bit tactless but that's part of her charm. Personally I've found some of Chloe's sarcastic quips in the past to be alot more cruel than anything that Lois has ever said.
Not quite sure how the "nepotism" remark refers to Lois. She's not related to Martha in any way, and Martha hired her because Lois did such a good job with Jonathan's campaign. It would make sense that she'd hire someone who she knew would get the job done right. And I don't think people who go on about how "dumb" Lois is are giving her enough credit for the good work that she did on Jonathan's campaign.
Exactly. And it is a Lois Lane trait to be blunt and to say whatever she thinks. Just like it's a Lois Lane trait for her not to be overly impressed with Clark (at first).

But, Pete was funny. Pete was compassionate. Pete wasn't mean unless he was on something. EDLois' humor is always at someone elses expense - I don't find it humorous, I find it *cruel.*
She's a rude nasty ingrate that depends on nepotism for everything in her life from her job to her living arrangements. It's really revolting when held up to Lois' of past years.

If she does say something hurtful, it isn't intentional. She's frank, she says what she thinks. She doesn't tip toe around people. To me, in SV, that's a breath of fresh air. Sometimes she's awkward, but I don't recall her making any cruel remarks.
"Mean" people are intentionally hurtful. That's the difference.
