And herein lies the grudge. by praising hackers to the point of being demi-gods capable of feats that mere mortals can only dream of you put yourself (and all hackers) on a piedestal. As the parent states this will de facto also include yourself. most people, being rather small-minded, don't like someone on a piedestal and naturally want to bring them down. It is very hard to avoid if you are (semi)famous. Especially so if you are also smart. Tragic but true.
