Okay, maybe you have missed my point. My point is that all of the player hating is press for this individual (whose name I refuse to type). Does he not generate enough of his own?
My point is that even with all of the things that I find wrong with him (including his love for the drug-addled portion of the scene), I think that we should hate the game, not the player. In otherwords, if you don't like what he does, keep his name out of your mouth.
