What writers did he show inability to work with you're referring to exactly?
Yeah, Claremont did fine to great with collaboration in this regard. The only notable exception was the original X-Factor concept which was dictated from editorial, which essentially destroyed his DPS and his Maddie story(which was already a compromise to begin with since editorial made him kill Jean in the first place!). Honestly I stand by him on that one.
