Now, thinking of it, I can understand why even if I did not pronounce a word, King Crimson could deeply hurt by my silent arrogance : it was the body language of arrogance , that get communicated more quickly as it was direct communication on emotional level. This is why French people are known to have a " je ne sais quoi" that really can make one feel the extreme feeling of arrogance through a deep sense of "feeling of inferiority". I think there was one English lad who said French arrogance was so "unsufferable" that he had to stop the meeting, as half the room was getting enraged! LOL! At the time, I really did not understand what the problem was. hahahahahahaha. And it was another person who was "exciting" the room.
So if two arrogant people were to have had this same level of arrogance, I believe they would have seen it as a way of acknowledging that the other person was worth "competing" with.
Now in the case of King Crimson, it must have been a total surprised and shock to have this deep emotion of "superiority" being received from someone else. In his case, it awakened the feeling a "inferiority" instead of the feeling of "desiring to improve".
I suppose this is why it never occured that there was any arrogance problem, because at fist sight - except on the skin issues- King Crimson could hide very well the inferiority complex.
Lately, as he must have read a lot more about the source of his "explosive" temper, he actually changed a bit the way he avoid the painful emotion of "shame" and "humiliation" by using DENIAL .
He did not use the expected conditionning that would be "attack".
"I was just looking for a piece of ass" (sic) BUT it should have been "I still want to avoid feeling these emotions of shame , thus humiliation" as it becomes a little shaming that everybody knows what methods - putting a hidden camera in a bathroom via removal staff company ! lol. So yes there was thus some shame in his acquiring photos via cameras. But also a denial mechanism to deal with the slight shame, more as a little feeling of embarrassment.
