I'd be just as bothered if it was my favorite GL, Alan Scott, getting the praise and everyone else was getting shit on. I think the only GL who could occupy that free space of praise is Kilowog, who everyone likes.
Hell, I don't know how John "my character is I'm a marine who let a planet die" Stewart isn't in the sad row considering DC doesn't let John enjoy his life anymore. More than any GL, he fits there as he's been published for, what, several decades now?
I did laugh at "big bitch" energy for my boy Guy Gardner, though. It does fit JLI Guy to a T.
