An immediate indicator of people I should avoid (anyone who uses that god damn Newsroom clip, you know what I'm talking about).

I don't care what everyone says, I love both West Wing and Newsroom.

Somehow I'm not entirely surprised by this.

It's not just Newsroom. It's Studio 60, and his many other flops. It's his absolute inability to write for women. It's his overbearing sense of being right.

And I thought West Wing was better when Sorkin wasn't the lead writer.

Yes I can that, and it may make him overrated, obnoxious or irritating, but I don't see why it make him a horrible person. His personal view whether people disagree with or not, is really rather harmless, it's more or less a fluffy and harmless be nice message, not really something which should raise the blood pressure of his opponents.

I think FF and HP are merely "I like so and so" and "I don't like so and so". Sorkin isn't a horrible person, but he's bad for thoughtful entertainment.

It seems you are trying to imply something, but I have no idea what.

Like Sorkin, you seem to have a level of disdain for those who disagree with what you believe. Just an observation.
