One of the great things about the SF field is that the vast majority of folks working in it
are nice people you enjoy meeting and hanging out with. I know of a few who can be problematic, but they've never been problematic to
me. (This doesn't mean I'm especially good at dealing with them. The ones in question haven't been guests at cons I worked on, and while I've seen them elsewhere they've been someone else's headaches.)
For the most part, SF pros are friendly and mutually supportive, happy to praise other's work and provide advice and tips, even though they are technically in competition. This is especially noticeable among artists working in the genre, but applies to writers, too.
One of the reasons I've been involved in organized SF fan activity for years has been the opportunity to meet and become friends with some extraordinary people.
