Then you need to read more. 

I'm kidding...mostly.  But as good as Brad is at what he does, he's no god.  (Praying to him won't help in non-SD matters.)

Note: I'm not disagreeing.  Just throwing a dash of reality in.

It is getting a little scary though, Zubaz, you gotta admit. I mean, I have nothing but respect for Frogboy for his stance on DRM, vision for Impulse, and many other things.. but there are other people involved in all of that, too. Now there's people posting and adding "All hail the frog!" as a signature thing. It's almost like the beginning of a little online cult following and that's the scary part. I really don't mean to sound like an ass (which I apparently did in the other thread), but for everything that people like him for, there are others up there with him. He's not the only one who takes that stance on DRM. The rest of Stardock does, GPG does, IC does, CD Projekt does (no copy protection on The Witcher: EE on Impulse), the list goes on.

That's sort of why I don't like the "All hail the frog!" movement. Like I said, I have the utmost respect for Brad and what he does and is known for, and especially his no-BS attitude, but it feels wrong that people who aren't always in that much public light but do work no less important get little similar recognition.

So I'll leave it that.. he does many great things, but so do others

There are no heroes, only role models. Having heroes is quite an excuse not to work on yourself. Think about it.

I'm with George Carlin on this one.

Substitute 'Frogboy' for 'Joe Pesci' (It's long so you can start at 4:02 to get to the part I am talking about)

I agree on all accounts.    kudos to you Samual

@Annatar - for what it is worth brother, I think you are reading into this far more then what is intended. Fame, celebrity and dare I say cult of personality, do not inherently marginalize nor discount the efforts of others which have contributed said status. I think it is all in good fun and intended as such.

And seriously, I'd be suprised if he haven't seen it already.

That is what i meant. The word "hero" just implies what he has done is quite "inhuman", therefore not accomplishable for yourself as a human. I just think it is a bit exaggerated, i appreciate Brads work but hey he didnt save the world, so why call him hero?

What we have here is a problem with the definition of the work 'hero'.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition I am useing is - "a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities". http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hero

I would classify your use of the work 'hero' to be closer to the definitionof Demi-God.  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/demi%20god

My hero used to be this guy who donated all he had to World Hunger and ran into a burning building to save an old lady, 2 Mexican orphans, and several little puppies, but Brad has since displaced him. 

My son,

   Unbelievers are like children, they are to be guided into the light, not purged like the bad mexican you had last night.

   They are all busy testing Demigod right now.

i say we should organize a great fight, to see wich is the most worthy of praise between our Beloved Brad (   All Hail the Frog) and the All Powerful Chuck Norris, lord of the Earth and the Heavens (Amen)
