Anybody who's been in the Hobby for sometime knows that Mike Wolfe single-handedly changed the face of O gauge railroading. To say any less would be a disservice to the man because of his diligence foresight and competitive nature we have what we have today. Lionel was going down the tubes and the hobby was going along with it. I'm not a great fan of Mike Wolfe because I think he also caused segregation of the hobby but that's my personal opinion only, but I give him a lot of credit and I always admired the man. He changed the hobby for the better, period.

Some really insightful observations. As you have observed, real life is complex and people and events can not always be easily categorized. However, even if you don't own any MTH trains, you have to admire Mike Wolf's impact to the hobby.
