is that it? .. and now everyone hates him?

if that's the reason, than i'm totally out of the loop and i'm sure it'd take a lot of explaining for me to grasp all of this hatred.

People seem to hate him for promoting the contest. Then some one found an exploit and pumped in a crazy number of votes against his rangers. So JDF made more post encouraging his fans to vote. Then people on his facebook started posting about the #nomoretommy campaign so JDF made another post asking his fans to vote to show the "haters" an announced he would give free autographs to any fans that sent him screen caps of them voting for the rest of the contest. Then JDF posted on his facebook that they discovered an exploit they thought might explain the huge swing in votes and JDF "forwarded" the post(may have originally been an email) which explained the exploit as well as how to do it. This really upset some people who apparently think cheating is only ok if it favors them and is despicable if it doesn't. After that accusations ran wild much mis-information was shared changing the order in which the events occurred. Finally Bandai found out and started filtering out fraudulent votes. Fans who disagreed with the new totals started accusing Bandai of rigging the contest and accusing JDF of throwing a hissy fit although we have no evidence JDF contacted Bandai. Next people on this board claim Bandai couldn't possibly know which votes to filter out which has been refuted. And hurt butts were had by all.
