She was really good-natured and far removed...

Hi

Could you please give your take on these sentences? Do they sound natural to you?

[Boss talking about a good employee]

  1. She was really good natured and far removed from those who would poison any (friendly) environment.
  2. She was really good natured and would never poison the (friendly) environment.

Thanks,

Tom

The second one gets the much better score for naturalness. A turn of phrase like 'far removed from those who would ' has not been heard in any conversation I've been part of in the last 20 years. CJ
