What's up with all the Wil bashing?

I was running through the "Has Anyone met him" thread on here (I met him recently myself at Super-Con in San Jose) and I was a bit shocked at some of the posts of people knocking him from back in his TNG days. So what if he was possibly a prick when he was a teenager? EVERYBODY goes through that phase at some point or another (crap, I sure know I did). When I met him recently, he seemed pretty down to earth & both friendly and out-going towards his fans. Read his blog a bit and you'll realize that he's one of the coolest folks around in the geek scene.

Crap, if I see him again and the opportunity comes up, I'll probably buy him a beer or two.
