"Misanthropist" was a boomerang Lawrence probably should have kept holstered.

You're a jeans salesman by day, a Viking-like warrior with incredible prowess who pummels enemies by night, a misanthropist who can commiserate with me about the worst parts of living, and I believe a sweet and caring boyfriend to whoever you'd have as your lover.

Fellow journalist Josh Rubin described Proudfoot as a "grumpy" and "snarky" person, and a misanthropist. He reportedly "would bark at editors handling his stories", and "eventually make you feel like crawling under your chair", according to Rubin. He also used his surly persona to solicit charitable donations at Christmas. He was the namesake for the Proudfoot Corner of the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund, which helped needy children during the holiday season.

He kept a distance to the literary world, where he had only a few friends (Alain Bosquet, Pierre Drachline...). Although he ignored the literary trends of the era, similarities can be found between his works and the literary works of several of his contemporaries (Jean Malaquais, Romain Gary, Jean Cayrol...), in particular the themes of the works (war, Judaism,) and certain innovations related to the form of the works (complex narrative systems, unreliable narrators...). In his novels and autobiographical works, Schreiber, aware of his value, liked to portray himself as the accursed writer, painting a picture of himself as a megalomaniac and misanthropist only interested in his own works and the status that they gave him. This image of him, in some cases even grotesque, made critics and readers turn their backs on his works.

Most of SAFKA's public declarations concern the Republic of Estonia, the history of Estonia, and Estonia's right to exist as a sovereign country. During their demonstrations in Helsinki, SAFKA delivered a manifesto entitled "Manifest of antifascists in Helsinki", signed by seven organisations calling themselves "anti-fascist committees" throughout Europe, condemning what they claim as "apartheid policies of Estonia and Latvia". The manifest claimed that the "attempt of the Baltic regimes at equating Communism with Fascism is a form of Holocaust denial as it denies the unique nature of Nazi crimes". Following the publication of the final report of the Estonian International Commission for Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity, SAFKA claimed that its chairman, the Finnish diplomat and one-time UN Secretary- General candidate Max Jakobson, is the "ideological father of the criminal apartheid regime of Estonia" and gave him the "misanthropist of the year" award.
