Stan clearly hired Jack Kirby so Jack could do his writing for him, which Stan then took BOTH CREDIT AND PAY for. Stan's a crook, and he learned from the best.
I find it odd that someone who helped maintain a Silver Age Marvel Comics Index site could despise Marvel so much.  
Not really. I don't think it is incompatible to appreciate the product and despise the personalities. After all, one can celebrate the craft of Chinatown without necessarily endorsing the ethics of Roman Polanski.

EDITED TO ADD: I don't share this extreme opinion about Stan Lee; I merely wanted to point out it's possible to like the work but not the workers.
