Suggested correction: "Just the opposite"? In what sense? According to whom? Very vague.
What he meant was Larry Linville (Frank Burns), despite playing a nasty, dumb character onscreen, was in fact incredibly sweet and intelligent and loved by the cast. Gary Burghoff (Radar), on the other hand, despite playing a sweet, likeable character, was in fact rude, arrogant and combative with cast members. He apparently didn't enjoy doing the show and wanted out when possible. No one missed him.
