While all of that sounds quite impassioned and respectful, it doesn't convey the Vance I remember at all. That fellow was an unrepentant satirist and certainly no cheerleader for the human species (to the extent his characters were entirely human).
Vance was especially fun when he celebrated the pettiness and hypocrisy of his protagonists and that's why (in my incredibly humble opinion) he deserves the respect he rarely afforded his characters.
