You're in a position to have a different perspective of course, but that doesn't track with what I've seen. It doesn't seem like anyone has been obsessed with him, in this thread or in ones I've seen before here. Seems like people just point out he's a grandiose jerk when he comes out with grandiose, non-peer-reviewed scientific theories. The depth of their emotional involvement doesn't appear to go much deeper than that, it just comes up commonly because (a) it's commonly known but (b) Wolfram has enough clout to semi-commonly publish stuff that trends on HN.
