Is it worth the risk of getting to know him better to find out?
We should be thankful for those that do, but it can be so hard to tell. It is helpful sometimes to get that OOC whisper: "I know I am being a jerk but that's just my character". But sometimes you are left never knowing, and in those cases why would you seek that character out for future RP? One of the unfairnesses of life I suppose.
