Re: If people are upset with him, don't buy the book.

But I'm guessing the majority of complainers are still going to buy it and read it as soon as it comes out, yes?
If you're upset, then don't support him. Everything else is just whiny bitching.

It's all we can do is whine and bitch. Of course we'll go buy the book. It's why we're whining. We want the book. We're frustrated with him and of course we'll complain and of course we'll buy the book. Our whining shows we're still interested in the series.
Actually, that's the difference. We love the series but not the author. Kind of weird to not like the author of a series you highly praise but his attitude toward everything is: "I finish it on my own terms and screw everyone who actually likes my work. I'll sit here and dilly dally, leading everyone along for years without handing them anything of substance. AND if I die before I finish, I'll give a big middle finger to everyone and destroy all my notes so none of you will ever know what happened." I feel like that's a terrible, terrible attitude to have. I still do love the books, however.
Go Hokies!
