Greetings:

A person commenting about a post on SF Signal has said (putting it nicer than he eventually does) that Wolfe is a bad writer. I've posted some comments, SF author John Wright has posted a comment...anybody from the list want to join in and express an opinion?

Some people don't like to think and read. I may not understand their  
alternative lifestyles, but it's not for me to judge.

Let this guy have his Terry Goodkind and John Ringo.  Those of us who who
read higher than a sixth grade level will keep Wolfe for ourselves. ;)

Well, I don't know about Terry Goodkind, but I have about a half shelf full of John Ringo!

Terry Goodkind is what happens when worse writers than Ayn Rand (and  
that's saying something) attempt to explain that hackneyed bit of  
nonsense called Objectivism.
