To be fair, people share their (negative) opinions of others in private all the time. It is amusing when they accidentally make their opinion public, but I don't think having a negative opinion of someone makes you immature or unfriendly.
Like Siobhain, I've made friends with people who I previously disliked (or who previously disliked me) plenty of times. Opinions change. Preaching acceptance and tolerance doesn't mean you have to like anyone and everyone. If they were purposefully hurling insults, that'd be one thing, but it wasn't meant to offend you.
They thought you sounded like a dick and didn't want to associate with you - I honestly can't see how this is immature or unfriendly on their part. We can go on about how we shouldn't judge people before we get to know them all we want, but everyone makes this kind of judgment. It'd be pretty hypocritical to condemn this sort of attitude when pretty much everyone does it.
It shouldn't be encouraged, sure, but people will do it anyway. I know I do. And I've seen people accidentally let their negative opinions of me slip in public, too. It happens.
I sadly have no amusing MT stories to share! Only the unamusing "that was supposed to be in /say" ones that happen every five seconds when I RP with people. ):
