[quote name='mguiddy']Granted, I didn't follow the ECA shit storm very closely, but I say the CAG Villain shouldn't be Hal Halpin, instead it should be all the CAGs (and all non-CAGs) who abused the shit out of the ECA Amazon codes that got Amazon to pull the plug on them.[/QUOTE]
I think that the overwhelming "support" for Hal in this category exaggerates the effect of ECA on the CAG community. The majority of CAGs have probably never used ECA or even know what it stands for. However, the nature of the way the CAGs who got ECA accounts were screwed is a classic bait-and-switch low blow that has seemingly angered even those (like myself) who have never signed up for ECA. I still can't believe what CAGs had to go through to cancel, but I think this screw up was due more to disorganization and incompetence than malice or a desire to scam.
I think that the other "villians" in this thread will be stinking up the place long after we have stopped discussing Hal and the ECA debacle and their intentions are far more "evil" than Hal's.
