Yeah, but so what? So the above fits right in to your expectations of how someone should be... the inference being that Fripp is not nice, closed and is somehow wrong for not taking a fan's expectations into account. Well, if that doesn't work for him then it doesn't work for him and at least he's had the grace to advise people well enough in advance.
Actually, in my experience, Robert is a warm, charming, polite and cuddlesome fellow with a large smidgeon of humour thrown in for good measure and plays a mean Mellotron which, after all, is what this site is about.
