I like... uh... Holkins? The writer guy? He seems like a smart, basically decent guy. I would hang out with him. Krahulik seems like kind of a jerk, or at least someone who chronically refuses to think about what they're saying or doing.

I definitely agree that the esteem in which they're held is pretty ridiculous, though. They're basically just two dudes.

Krahulik is absolutely a jerk and has been since day one. I remember reading an IRC interview that was posted on the PA website back in... 2000? and they specifically wrote, ON THE WEBSITE, that Krahulik was a major asshole in said interview.

But the thing is, he realized it himself (a sure sign of being an adult) and he did come out and apologize around New Year's for being a massive douchebag, with no new incident immediately beforehand to prompt him (that's what suggested to me that it was sincere, and not his PR department strapping C4 to his balls.)

I saw that piece around New Years', and was honestly kind of impressed. I saw a lot of people reacting that they didn't think it went far enough and didn't apologize explicitly for the specific things he did - but I took it as less an apology and more a public realization and admission of some unpleasant truths about himself, and a promise to change them. I kinda have to respect that, because making that kind of brutally honest self-assessment is hard.
