If someone is putting your songs down all the time, you're not going to take the abuse. So although people always demonize Roger, I think they forget that DG, Rick, and NM probably did their share of putting Roger down as well - and they outnumbered him, so he must have felt the way TFC fans feel now, with everyone saying they're wrong to feel that way. "Showing feelings of an almost human nature - this will not do!"

Luckily, he still knew his ideas were good. But I'm sure it wasn't easy.

I don't know what's the most wrong thing about this -- the idea that Roger was the persecuted one that was always on the defensive, or that the reason Roger claimed Pink Floyd was a "spent force creatively" had nothing to do with his overweening arrogance. Even worse, you claim the people who don't like The Final Cut are "sheep". The hell?

Roger made it virtually impossible for David and Nick to contribute in any meaningful way to The Final Cut, and Rick had been kicked out of the band 3 years earlier, so he had absolutely no part in it. Hell, they barely had any contributions to The Wall, aside from Young Lust, Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb. That's what, 3 songs out of 21? The Final Cut was essentially stuff from the cutting room floor that didn't make The Wall and when David said that they should work on totally new material, Roger essentially told him to go eff himself. How can a group get any work done in that kind of environment?
