Where did he call or consider his fans "monsters"? He specifically lashed out against some very rude fans who made an offensive mention of Robert Jordan's death, a personal friend of GRRM. I 100% support him on this. Fandom can be very toxic.
As for the rest: I don't think GRRM is trying to mislead anyone on purpose. I honestly think he's lost the energy to focus on ASoIaF and cannot find a way to solve this conundrum and finish the damn thing. I think he would if he could. If he's deceiving anyone, it's himself.
Writing literature isn't like writing CRUD code, is not just a matter of sitting your ass down and typing words. Sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesn't.
I think he's lost his inspiration and cannot get it back, but I don't buy he's being cynical about this or purposefully cheating his fans.
