I think I would rank him as one of the better short story writers in SF. On the flip side though, I think he goes out of his way to be do and say outrageous things to get attention. I certainly think he is too much of a prima donna to have ever been a screen writer.

I also can't help but wonder if all of this boils down to him crying for attention...
