Its all been "Glad to see this back" or "Death to Murphy"
Well, I think that's the crux of the matter.
The concept of the faction is solid. It's an interesting turn, and if you folks can handle it right, it'll be splendid. The actual goals, content, and ideas behind the faction itself aren't in question.
It's that many of us cannot support this faction when we see who's in charge of it. Say what you will about feedback, but the leader is the person who drives the faction - who pushes it to evolve and grow and sets the standard by which those in the faction follow. Given Murphy's history, and the statements of many in this thread, we don't expect good things. I do, however, realize that this is not the unanimous opinion of every single person in the community. It should not be disregarded as hate, though.
I hope to be proved wrong. I want to be proved wrong. But I won't hold my breath. You know how the adage goes. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Call it Murphy hate if you want, but they say the definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Dab's listed the past events where Wolf has had ample opportunity to prove himself. It's all ended less than pleasantly. We're not hating, we're learning from our mistakes.
So, I reiterate. The faction itself is lovely on paper. I cannot support it under its current leadership, however. That does not mean we can force a leadership change, just don't expect warm fuzzies from everyone.
