I am not sure quite what you objected to about KSR - personally, I 
find his writing rather dull, having insufficient action/plot to support
his travelogue, and devoid of surprises (actually The Wild Shore is all
that I've read, and I could not finish that).

Maybe most 'big' SF authors are insipid in person - I've only met two,
Asimov and Varley, and the conversation did tend to be rather one-sided,
but both seemed quite friendly.
