Oblivious
Someone who's aware that they are an asshole is not oblivious to who and what they are. Someone who's aware that they're the problem is not oblivious to what the problem is.

Pete Townshend
Besides an unlikable guy with lots of money and a talent for playing guitar (and not beating someone with one as a weapon, since that allegedly got him knocked out) who would Pete Townshend be without the Who? Is it somehow unfair to Pete Townshend to think or say any of that? It's possible to respect somebody's ability/talent (not underestimate their capability) while having no respect for who and what they are as a human being.
Roger Daltry makes it sound like he wouldn't be anybody in particular without the Who, but really the Who was still a likeable band with him as the face of the band (before the 80s). It hasn't been the same since Pete Townshend started convincing everyone else in the band that he was the best thing to ever happen to the Who, and that nobody else was good enough to question him. At least Roger Daltry seems like a guy who had some heart.
Example of respecting an ability but not the person with the ability- The subject knew the king/queen was capable of executing him or worse, and though he was cautious about what he said and did, he still knew he didnt owe the king/queen or anybody else any respect.
