I disagree strongly about the name calling even as I agree with many of the thoughts behind this post. It is infuriating when people use words like filler, padding as if their tastes and interests are the only things that count. I am re-reading CoT right now and really enjoying it, especially the sections that other people dislike. My favorite characters by far are those that most people dislike.
THE BATH SCENE IS IMPORTANT!!!! Why don't they get that?

On the other hand, we ALL have blind spots. And while, I have no problem with people pointing out each others blind spots, it should be done with humility and without name calling. (Asking them to remove the plank from our eye so that we can remove the sliver from theirs.)
Cast not your pearls before swine. Seriously, it's not like I'm going to change at this point.

Sorry if I am picking on you. I have tendency of going harder on people when I agree with them, since I don't want a good argument tainted.
Better on me than someone who will whine about it.

It's impossible for nothing to happen in AMoL. - 28/07/2011 07:30:02 PM 1368 Views
Oh, you're so cute in your innocence! - 02/08/2011 06:14:37 AM 1140 Views
Good thing I wasn't drinking milk when I read this. - 07/08/2011 10:24:29 PM 960 Views
Yeah, suck it WoT-haters! We're eclectic! *NM* - 11/08/2011 02:00:05 AM 593 Views
Regardless of how bad it is, stuff still WILL happen. *NM* - 10/08/2011 05:30:02 PM 407 Views

Those who says that nothing happens in ADWD really need to read CoT - 29/07/2011 12:02:23 PM 1145 Views

A Dance of Dragons is hardly filler. *shrugs* *NM* - 31/07/2011 04:43:58 PM 617 Views
Agreed. It could be argued that more happens in the epilogue of ADWD than all of CoT. *NM* - 01/08/2011 01:27:58 AM 400 Views

That's like a pissing match between Gigli and Ishtar. - 02/08/2011 04:43:18 AM 867 Views
I regret wasting much of July reading it, so I respectfully disagree. - 02/08/2011 04:41:39 AM 954 Views
I do request that you don't lump ALL of fantasy into those two authors - 02/08/2011 06:08:21 AM 941 Views
You are completely overlooking his point, however. - 02/08/2011 06:12:45 AM 1012 Views
F*** you, you idiot. *NM* - 02/08/2011 06:13:48 AM 425 Views

Are you talking about Cannoli or Joel? : - 03/08/2011 11:15:36 PM 931 Views

that's fair enough - 03/08/2011 12:22:34 AM 932 Views
Pretty much. - 15/08/2011 04:49:40 PM 764 Views
Wait... You want intelligent meaningful books, but you're demanding action? - 02/08/2011 06:52:00 AM 936 Views
I want one or the other. - 02/08/2011 05:07:41 PM 820 Views
I don't mind a little of both - 02/08/2011 10:02:23 PM 755 Views
That's debatable. *NM* - 07/08/2011 11:07:51 PM 468 Views
