Defending Wolfe

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? See: <http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/007006.html> F.P.

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! F.P. Kiesche III "Ah Mr. Gibbon, another damned, fat, square book.
