To judge him based on the cracking on people he did, including you -- I think you may not realize how much better / easier to deal with of a player you are now vs. in the Valg era. I'd argue most of it was appropriate/necessary, but that's not really the point.

You also have to weigh him on all the things you like about the game that would not exist without Valg. For example, legacies.
