It's not his fault these people decided to cause trouble in the ways they have, nor is it the fault of Sonic.exe. What I saw was people ignoring that, instead blaming the creator because it's easier. I'm sorry, but I haven't seen evidence in this thread that JC-the-Hyena was being blamed for spinoffs except indirectly through the content of Sonic.exe. As far as I can tell, it went down like this:

1. JC posts Sonic.exe before the spinoff rule went into effect.

2. Sonic becomes popular in a hipster kind of way, in that people love to hate it.

3. Other people, seriously or ironically, start writing their own bad spinoff pastas that then flood the Wiki.

4. Admins put in spinoff rule to control the feces-flow. Because Sonic.exe was put in before the new rule, and because it is still popular in a snark-at-it "jeebus this is bad lol" way, admins decide to keep the pasta up as is but not allow any sequels of said pasta unless the quality standards are improved.

I think that sounds reasonable.
