Selectivity or discrimination (NOT racial) between brothers from the same lodge?

A brother from my lodge (regular blue lodge) has said numerous times that he prefers to fraternize with some members of the lodge and distance himself from other brothers with whom he feels there is not a connection and/or no interests in common when it comes to freemasonry.

Is this acceptable in freemasonry?

I thought we were all suppose to, or at least try, to fraternize with all members of the lodge.

Announcing it regularly in lodge isn’t exactly kind, though, and doesn’t leave me with a very good impression of the “Brother.”

We are still human beings with our faults and foibles. Just because someone is a member of your lodge doesn’t mean you’ll get along with them. There are Brethren in my Mother Lodge I would rather never speak to again.

We should aim for the highest ideals in Freemasonry.

Brotherhood is a very high & noble ideal. It's a worthy effort.

Unfortunately as we learn though, it's hard work to like everyone.

In my opinion, what's unacceptable in Freemasonry is to make too much of a case about not liking other members.

It's real and present. But let's continue to shoot for greatness. It's in our 'contracts'.

I love all my brothers, but some I love more.

To love someone doesn't always mean to like them at the same time.

I have a few family members whom i said quite frequently, we might be kin but we're not friends.

If we agree that it happens with family then it's true to be the same happenings in a lodge.
