So how do you all feel about playing against group hug decks in EDH? I'm thinking of building one but don't know if it will piss people off or what..
Input is appreciated
Do you mean group hug as in help everyone, or do you mean group hug as in {Blood Tithe}?

I mean {pheldagrif} as the commander so help everyone
I've only played against a group hug deck a couple times, and it was fun, it didn't upset anyone at all, even when he won by copying {molten psyche} 5 times suddenly. I've played against political puppets type decks many times also, a similar concept, and it's also fun to play against. I say go for it.
Word of advice though, everyone will know you have big tricks up your sleeve to win, and you are a big target. Even moreso depending on what sort of craziness you do to the board ({hive mind} for example). So make sure you have the means to protect yourself! And in group hug, it's all on you to save your own hide unlike puppets where you can coax an 'ally' to keep you safe to keep the love flowing.
Thanks for the information Gorzo
