Awwww...I like to think he at least, didn't personally hate Holmes as a character. It seems like he disliked Holmes for being so popular he distracted from all his other work, and he was sick of writing about him, but it's possible he still thought Holmes was a rather cool character? He does put some really charming or personal ideas into Holmes's mouth, which doesn't seem to indicate indifference, at any rate.

And I never heard of him attacking Holmes the way he would a person, not anything like Agatha Christie describing Hercule Poirot as a "detestable, bombastic, tiresome, ego-centric little creep" (for shame!) for example.

Of course he didn't hate Holmes!

I mean, the character was based off a friend of his (Joseph Bell) and was meant as an honor. It's jsut that he wanted to be remembered as a historian. I'm pretty sure he said something about how if, in a hundred years, he's only remembered as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, he'd consider himself a failure. At which point I laughed so hard I drooled.

And the guy who was taken in by the Cottingley Fairies. That comes up a lot.
