I'm not really sure. The only person I know of that really hates Taco is Xenn. Further it seems that most older forum members take sides with either Taco or Xenn; I guess most of the newer members side with Xenn due to many unscrupulous actions by Taco.

Really the whole hate Taco thing is pointless. Xenn has personal reasons for hating Taco, but I really don't see why everyone else goes hating on Taco. I take issue with his actions but I don't hate him for them.
