Not at all. Just disliking things for no real reason is.

Putting a smily face after a whine doesn't make it any less of a whine.

Not that this is going to happen, but let's for a moment pretend it is. Why are the Tau the most annoying race? And furthermore, why is the idea of the IoM forming a Xenos alliance at its worst just because it's the Tau? Hmm? You trying to say an alliance between, say, Orks or 'Nids would be less annoying? This post really makes no sense...

Tau aren't the most annoying race, that the Space Elfs. They are the wisest, most noble, most advanced tech, most skilled warriors, most powerful psykers, best hair blah blah blah Space Elfs.

Though I can see for the Imperium the Tau would be the greatest threat. Orks, Chaos and Dark Eldar enslave humans, Necrons, Orks, Nids kill/eat humans.

But only the Tau offer an alternative, a new chance for humans. The other guys are honest threats, the Tau are seductive and subversive.

Nah, the Tyranids and Space Marines are going to team up. Marneus Calgar is going to have an optional Carnifex mount in the next codex.

Tigirius tapped into the Hivemind and talked the Hivemind into letting the Ultramarines ride their monstrous creatures into battle.

Hive Fleet Ultramounts.

Makes more sense than the Tau rumour, since in the Tau Codex, the Tau evolved after the Horus Heresy, and only came to be civilized after the Adeptus Mechanicus fleet got obliterated by a warp storm and the Ethereals united them. The AdMech where going to wipe out the primitive natives, btw, and use T'au as a research base.

Again, this assumes the next Tau codex will not completely upend their origin story.

New Codex? They are getting the Dark Eldar treatment!

I think we all know they sell too well for that.

If it does, in fact, happen, will there be a video on youtube of all the marine loving tau haters offing themselves? We can only hope. And nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
