I think we all could agree Paulie did alot of hit (he fits the prototype of when the feds give a crazy number like "responsible for over 30 murders" type statements) and was a psychopath. What I find interesting, is that he didn't seem to carry that "almighty" fear (like a Richie Aprile) and he wasn't universally respected (think the argument with Feech in the bakery) and Carmine Sr didn't even know who he was (but Chris was allowed to be at a couple sitdowns) , I just find that peculiar. Obviously its a t.v. show but it seemed alittle strange. Do you think its because he generally wasn't considered a big earner? I mean being close to Johnny Boy Soprano for years(who was praised in mob circles) and Tony (although not universally liked, he was a Boss) would garner more reverence.
