[Star Trek]Are the Q just a bunch of wimps?

Q is by far and large the most powerful beings in the Star Trek universe. Easily. However, I think they're a bunch of wimps. Picard spent all of their encounters trying to reason with Q and he never left Picard alone. In fact, it's because of Q that the Borg even became aware of the Federation. 

That is until Q meets with Captain Sisko. Who promptly punches Q in the face and is left alone, forever. 

Does this mean that the Q are just a bunch of punk ass bitches? Or does this somehow imply that they've completely lost all defense and understanding of physical conflict as they've been so accustomed to having innate god-like powers?

One thing to remember is that Q (John de Lancie's Q) is fascinated by humanity. Like a bug enthusiast watches a moth and records its daily routines in a notebook, he keeps watching humans, Picard in particular. The rest of the continuum is mostly dismissive of humans, if not downright disgusted. They've seen countless species like ours over the eons and don't see any reason to bother with us except in judgment.

But this one Q does see something. Maybe it's a tiny tiny fragment of DNA in Picard's body. Maybe it's something in his intagible soul we can't hope to detect or see, but he can. Maybe he's just projecting his hopes onto Picard, but in that one bald frenchman, Q sees something that fascinates him to no end. So he keeps popping in. 

It seems sometimes that Q is preparing Picard, and through him humanity, to take the next step to becoming like Q. It's a big leap, but with his introduction to the Borg and speech about not backing down from space bullies, to his final speech before Picard played poker with his senior staff, it really seems like he's a teacher giving lessons to a confused student.

However, in Sisko, Q sees... disappointment. If all humanity turns out like Picard and his wonderful curiosity, wisdom, kindness and fortitude, the chance for humanity's Q-like evolution is much stronger. But Sisko prefers to solve his problems in a more primitive way. That's not to say Sisko is a brute or a lesser person than Picard, but his mind is stuck in the past while Picard is always looking to the future. Sisko's much more cynical outlook has a huge risk of leading himself and humanity on a much darker path, one that might ultimately lead to its doom. 

So when Q got confirmation that Sisko is not only unwilling to put up with his tests, but will lash out physically instead of mentally, Q left him alone. He wasn't fun, he wasn't interesting and maybe he was just a little too scary.
