Yeah, I do think that's what it is. You've really got to be a certain kind of person to handle fans well. Many people, unfortunately, seem to fall in the middle where they're not reclusive enough that they just cut themselves off and ignore the fans happily, but not easy-going enought to take the real heat. I suspect some people can't help but want to be close to the fans for the adoration and maybe they like the idea that this group of people admires them so much. They're very special amongst their fans. But really the fans like their characters, not them.
