    Ron hates living by anybody else's rules, but ultimately respects anyone doing their job passionately and to the best of their ability. Thats why Ron respects Mark, and also Leslie, because while he despises what they stand for, he respects their right to care about it if it means they work hard for it.

    Ron hates lying.
    And the scenes where Mark asks Ron if he's kept everything up to the code, he pauses a pause. Coz he doesn't want to lie. I love how they kept Ron's character consistent, even though it's much later in the show where he reveals he hates lying.

He was a more simple character and he was really funny in a different way, being almost the only "normal" person between the crackheads that are April or Leslie. In a way he is like Ann or Ben, often calming down the others. I'm still glad he left after season 2 because his character was starting to get repetitive but he was a good cast member.
