Anyone who can call themselves an audio aficionado, can appreciate the work that goes into the sound of both RG's own current music and that of the CT's.
To say it isn't 'macho enough' is like saying I am living my sonic life with my ear blinders on.tutt. I know that I as a musician can appreciate his sound, as well as the sound put out by artists like Judas Priest. It is simply a different kind of sound, is all, but both valid within the genres they represent.
I personally couldn't care less about somebody questioning my manhood about liking the Cocteau Twins.

They were a brilliant group of people that made some of the most sonically inspiring music that I've heard. As far as a reunion I guess I can understand that Robin and Elizabeth had a pretty wild marriage and to be with your ex's for any length of time would be emotionally taxing. Their time together brought Robin to Heavy drug addiction and Elizabeth to have a nervous breakdown. So I guess any talk of a reunion is pretty much out of the question for now. But,WHO KNOWS?
