Indeed... I think it's rather clear that Larry's goal has been to cause trouble Sidious Send a noteboard - 27/06/2010 10:57:36 AM

I don't seem to recall any discussions of burning people at the stake in any of Roberts' posts. I would say that, mocking or not, that such a comment goes quite a bit beyond satire and toward the sort of comment that some of Terry Goodkind's more deluded fanatics have posted over the years.

No, there were no such comments in the blog. But then, I don't think Sidious meant any of it literally.
And in no way is this in anyway reminiscent of Mystar and his ilk. It is quite obvious that Sidious criticizes RJ for several things, including some things on which Adam Roberts would likely agree. He's far from a fan-boy.

As for your opinions on this, well...things do go more than one way.

Of course. Yet that kind of understanding has been completely lacking in Roberts' own posts about the series. The best he could come up with is that people liked the books for their length and the comfort that offered. I didn't see you take exception to that...


I don't think "condescending" is the word to use here. When I originally posted this thread, it was to see what discussion might occur out of it, in the now vain hope that it'd be more substantive than what has been produced. So yes, after a while, the circular nature of the arguments on all sides (I didn't exclude myself from that comment, after all) became repetitive and I mostly just posted the links out of habit than anything else.

Your initial motives are not the issue here. You say you found the discussion here circular. It was clear people here found the discussion in the blog tasteless and stupid. What could possibly be the point of posting links from each place in the other except to stoke up the heat?
By itself, that isn't even objectionable.


No, it's not hypocritical when I've been quite open about my thoughts for months now.

What's the connection? I never said you lied about your thoughts on WoT. What I said was that you spent considerable effort defending Roberts on this board, but label those who defend RJ as fan-boys, irrespective of the fact that some people had well reasoned arguments for why they found him an interesting read.

After all, why else would I comment inside the blog posts and have links where people here could read it if they so chose? And here's a question to consider: why do some feel as those their (or the dead author's) honor has been besmirched? After all, mocking or not, no one makes comments about imbeciles and burning dissidents at the stake unless there's a wee bit too much attachment to something.

Then perhaps a glance at some of Sidious's posts is in order? Because he's far from showing any undue attachment to RJ and his works. Though I suspect that, like me, he took exception to statements that WoT was bourgeois fiction that is read by people attracted to its "inherent" safety. That goes several steps beyond calling someone an imbecile, as far as I'm concerned.
It takes the "fan" part and restores the original, somewhat connotation of "fanatic" to me.

This has become such an easy way out of any discussion its becoming frustrating. It is one thing to call someone who goes to various sites and defends his pet author and insults his detractors a fanatic. It is quite something else to level the same accusation at any and everyone who thinks some popular genre author is great.

Perhaps I'm just too cynical to see the point in all this and should just bow out of such discussions in the future.

Maybe. Clearly, you have a standard set on what is good fiction and what is not. And after going through your comments in Roberts' blog, it seems clear you have no issues with characterizing some with different standards as people with poor taste (not in so many words, but the implication is rather clear).


From the beginning I've considered this post to be borderline trolling. Posting reviews by an author who disdains Robert Jordan's work on a site dedicated to those works is counter-productive to start with. In fact, Roberts negative reviews in themselves aren't themselves objectionable, but rather his clear attempt to obtain approval using jibes and sarcasm. It's attention-seeking at its base level. Readers who know WoT far better than I do, such as DomA, have made eloquent posts showing factually that Roberts makes almost no valid points regarding his criticism of the series, and even worse, by forming erroneous parallels doesn't understand fantasy in general.

The fact that Larry took the effort to actually link my post to Roberts' blog is a clear indication that he wants to ignite conflict on this, and perhaps both, boards. If I wanted him to read what I thought of him, I would have posted something there. I'm sure Roberts will eventually reply with some or other nasty remark - he has little else to offer. However, if Larry is anxiously hoping for some cross-board escalation to occur, he's sadly mistaken.
