The disdain shown toward him is excessive (in my opinion). Sure, he's been known to throw an occasional tantrum and/or be hypocritical. But it's all relatively mild, if you ask me. Much ado about nothing.
I have family members who behave much worse. ![]()
(BTW I've been watching Hikaru play online for about 20 years now. Back then, he played on ICC and went by the name "Smallville" ...)
I think he's hilarious, but I also think he's a hypocrite. For whatever thats worth. I still like him, tho.
no, he doesn't care literally at all like that
