I think that Rick Wright got mistreated by Gilmour even in the later post-Waters Floyd.

Really. I thought he and Gilmour got on okay but I could be wrong. Wright seemed like a very decent and quiet man. Wright supposedly wrote hundreds of songs but was too insecure or bullied by Rog to present them. His Paint Box was quite good after Syd lost it and the others were not up to songwriting yet. Paint Box was the B-side to Apples and Oranges which was pretty lame. Modern UK band Blur sounded like Apples & Ornages.

I think Mason was above a lot of it because his family owned part of Floyd because they came up with money early on when the band was not a commercial sucess post-Syd.
