But I think id be wrong.

I dunno, I see him as a white knight type more and more, as somebody with no skin in the raid game and no "side" (I already did all the raid stuff the first time and I can no longer sit at a pc for more then an hour so I just mop up quests I never did for my own characters in classic...plus I am a do-more-with-less type and that does not fly here, so it wouldn't even be fun for me, the zerg here is real). Over the past year or so he's basically become the whipping boy for a narrative he didn't even start and I see a lot of stuff foisted at the guy where it seems to me that the objective is just to fuck with him and belittle him, and the logistics of doing so are incidental. Like what you're doing now.
Although if I've ever met him in game I don't remember it, so he could be a giant flaming dbag. But just from the forums, it's kind of admirable how he doesn't really lose his shit over harassment that would make many people flip right out on day 1.
And if he is some kind of lynchpin of the class system like some people claim, well I've noticed a lot more diversity in who I see gathering up to do stuff, so that's a lot of fun he helped create, if the rhetoric regarding his influence is to be believed. While grouping I've seen a lot of chatter from people excited about raiding stuff under many tags that I never saw talk about raiding before, nobody's going to convince me that's a bad thing, as this is just a game. So he's either what people say he is and is ultimately a net benefit to the server or he's just a victim of a targeted campaign of shit talking.
There's definitely a lot of spin in his direction and even if he actually is spinning too, he's still way outgunned yet he doesn't crumple, so I think the guy's alright.
