Defending Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

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

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. ;)

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

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?
