In some ways, who could blame him?
Kronecker had "followers". Weierstrass had "followers". Hilbert had "followers". The list goes on to this day. I am almost certain that Woodin has "followers". Shelah has made a few remarks about the standpoint of the California school.
The problem with WM is that he is not an equal opportunity critic. With him, it is a one pony show.
