Respectfully, this is a wall of text and it isn't really about me and my opinion. I suspect you're maybe too deep in the personality cult.
I've seen it mostly on the internet, and Watts is one of those that evokes heavy denial from adherents. People will defend mild criticism of their heroes very fervently like you've done. They can do no wrong. But no human being is perfect and that's all I said, with brief reference to the parts I liked least.
I don't like 100% of what Watts said and did, I think a bit of it is misguided or the wrong emphasis, and we're all human and sometimes we misguide ourselves, that's not a huge problem or harsh judgment. I'm not denying that he had interesting and good things to say as well.
