This is getting a bit off topic, but i just had to throw my 2 cents worth in and defend Robbie's name here. I'm a good friend of Rob's and can tell you he is one of the nicest guys around! The comment from that interview is probably a bit out of context, and i think from memory i even read that article and thought that it wasn't written, worded very well. The comment was about someone wanting to steal a project that you have put your vision hard work and money into and can't even give you the respect of at least letting you have a good crack at doing it first. It wasn't about those out there that just enjoy to climb but don't want to bolt
