Human psychology is complicated. Sometimes people have self-defense mechanisms, so how they react on the outside may not always completely reflect how people feel on the inside. It is hard to say that his experience was not in some way embarrassing. I imagine he felt quite angry with the people in the Voynich community due to their reaction to his theory, which from his point of view was treated quite unfairly. Probably we all didn't handle him as best we should, but then we are human so that's that. Anyone what can one do when there is a fundamental seemingly irreconcilable disagreement on the merits of a theory?
