But, I have rationalized it like this: I'm rather unapproachable when I'm in the middle of doing my job - at least when I'm doing it effectively. Some people can only get the job done using a certian mindset / approach, and if that means they have to block out distractions before, during, and even after their round, then that's what they've gotta do.
And regarding pre and post round jerkiness, it may be that he's sick of the professional autograph hounds who intentionally run over kids and old ladies in their effort to have their two dozen copies of Raising a Tiger signed. It's unfortunate, but doodes like that spoil the fun for the rest of us.
