Considering the reputation system, kudos, medals, annual awards, etc., it's obvious that a lot of people here would want some worship, though they'll likely deny it despite the evidence.
Recognition from people you have a modicum of respect for can reasonably be appreciated. Recognition from ants is a ridiculous thing to care about and we're barely different from ants if compared to an omniscient and omnipotent being.
Little 'g' gods might want worship, they're just exaggerated humans. They could relate to us. They could care about our opinion of them.
Do you believe in God or a god?
