If you ask me, being mindful and respectful of other people's time. Too many small town folks are "friendly" to your face, but ultimately are just wasting your time acting like they are interested and talking your ear off, only to turn around and complain to the next person they see about you. In the long run, it's nicer to just tell people what you really think about them concisely, and to keep your personal beef between yourself and the only other affected party.
