I actually think it as alright for Mel to be like that more than Daphne - that's the way she was. Mel was new and hadn't had the years of the audience getting to know her character. Daphne, for some unknown reason, developed swiftly into a less likeable character, which is harder to palette, imho.
The Daphne Niles longed for certainly wasn't the Daphne he ended up with
