The Forresters are not the type of friends you want to invite to a dinner party: they're loud, violent, wild, and mean. They fight among themselves at home, and fight with others when they're away. Three of them attack Oliver Hutto because Lem Forrester wants his girlfriend—and when Penny and Jody step in to break it up, they beat them up, too.

Oh, and they also burn down Grandma Hutto's house on Christmas Day, for pretty much the same reason. Everyone in town is intimidated by them, and Ma Baxter straight out hates them: "Ever' one of 'em's lower'n a doodle-bug. And black-hearted to boot" (8.63). Burn!

But they do have their good moments. They act…mostly civilized when they go on group hunting trips with the Baxters, and, when Penny gets bitten by a rattlesnake they immediately come to help. Of course, they do insult him the whole time, with Buck saying, "I'd he'p a dog, was snake-bit. Spare your thanks" (14.126). They may be willing to help a neighbor, but they're not willing to be nice about it.
