Ok, let me clear this up. Hutch does not always get the stick from people. He gets it from people whom he gives the stick to, sometimes with provocation, sometimes he is the one provocating. He is not the most favored pinata in this community, I am. Judging by attitudes and actions over the last 6 months, this trend of pinatas has continued, with my candy being the one most commonly spread on the floor.
This community seems to have three factions. One is the 'WoW Crew' and friends (i.e Me, Daemon, VoX (non-WoW), Marc etc). Another is Hutch (normally alone, with some random support.). And the third is everyone else, including admins, who are on whichever side seems to be the most popular at the time (See Removal of WoW Admin and Moderator Update threads for proof - Side switch in 3 weeks.)
Most of the time, Hutch has some support, because he bashes WoW, and that seems to be a 'cool' thing to do. But I have some support because Hutch can be an absolute whining bitch. This is the stem of the arguments.
Recently, Hutch and I agreed (or I should say I agreed, Hutch d/c'ed ot long after proposing, then grunted upon return) at the ATK meeting that we get along and stop arguing. Obviously, this hasn't stopped him from continuing to provoke other members and attempt to anger myself by using me as an icon of demigodship for others (see above post accusing Daemon of rimming my sphincter).
OK, to prevent another 1000 word essay (what would be my fourth), I am going to say this. Paper Tiger, never, ever say that Hutch gets the most stick. Because he is not, and what he gets is normally deservered. Some members in this community get slightly less stick, and in some cases more, but it is very rarely deserved, (such as Daemon above).
I know this is off-topic, so if you have a dispute or discussion on this post, create a new thread. This is my opinion, and does not represent what anyone else in the community believes (Unless the agree with me...)
EDIT: Prime Example, the PTT thread
And Bloo, to begin with, leaders will be required, in order to sort out rosters, skill levels etc. But if they seem inept at doing their job, then sack them, and bring in a new guy.
