I think the cosmic joke is that any person would become a "celebrity of sorts" around the Law of One.
But yes, I think you're right. And there are other dynamics around being a celebrity which come into play as well- for example having to pander to the fans. Because, as we all know, the biggest fans can turn into the biggest haters on a dime if they decide that they aren't getting what they need/want/think they deserve from their latest celebrity obsession.
Kind of like when a band has to keep playing all of their old s*** on stage because any time they try something new their "fan base" gets pissy about it.
In the case of DW- his mission (according to him) is about documenting where scientific investigation supports the Law of One, and other related concepts as presented in the Ra Material.
On the other hand, his followers- at least the most vocal ones- tend to go... Law of One? Yup, we're all one. We already know that.
NOW TELL US ABOUT THE ALIENS AND THE ILLUMINATI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the while forgetting that, according to the Law of One, we ARE the both the aliens and the Illuminati. This is, of course, why Ra referred to this type of information as transitory and unimportant.
Anyway, I was happy to hear that when he finally stepped away from the throngs long enough to take a rest, that his guidance was able to kick in and set him back on course. And I actually SAID this over a year ago:

I still don't wish any ill upon the man- every work doesn't need to be a masterpiece to make it worthwhile.
I was previously just speculating as to what may have attracted that level of "hatred and vitriol" into his experience. Put it this way- I think if he would have stayed truer to the material he wouldn't have attracted so many nutjob followers. But that's just my opinion; I've only spoken to the dude twice so I don't actually know him or what is going on in his mind.

That wasn't the point, which is probably why it didn't make any sense!

Where I think he has misrepresented the material is discussed here:

I only was mentioning that I had found that post I quoted while doing a Google search for "Don Elkins suicide". This is, of course, because he talks about it in the post. But that was all in relation to plenum's question about the relationship between DW and L/L.
