It's so easy to attack someone with a bad rap, there's always enough mob mentality to almost make it look as though you have a point. I haven't been playing this game as long as many others but I do have a piece of advice for everyone:
When you find someone you don't get along with, whether or not you're on the same side, wing with them; watch each others back. There's almost nobody this hasn't worked with for me but there are always exceptions. There is no better way to get to know someone. I know this may sound nuts to some but if you ever got to know storch you would find him to be one of the funniest and well-spirited people in the game. People have trouble understanding tongue-in-cheek humor over the Interweb Super Freeway, a lot of it is lost in the translation.
Also, makers of rocky road ice cream have made a fine choice by replacing the walnuts with almonds.
