For those of you who know Community, compare the way the writers handled Abed as opposed to Sheldon on BBT. Abed was exceptional and different too but they never reduced him in order to try and earn kudos for other characters. They showed his sensitivity and flaws but it wasn't to diminish him. BB is a real pecking order, it's so playground.
It's as though they have been gifted this amazing character by pure accident and they just keep twisting and hacking away at their prize. Sheldon is the most destroyed character on the show. Penny is second. The others are more or less intact or offered sympathy by the writers. Sheldon is like a piñata being bashed about over each seasons, slowing losing shape until one day he'll burst... build his death ray and kill them all.
