I think we can all agree that he certainly didn't have the greatest personality. I don't know about "spoiled brat", but between his unsportsmanlike behaviour and his downright paranoid and nasty attitude in later years - I think the least we can say is "antisocial"!
But again, I think what was going on in certain parts of his head was absolutely remarkable and worthy of recognition.
