[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1220152, member: 8439"] well, frankly, I've taken enough not-so-veiled slams for [B]not[/B] liking the books, the annoyance tends to creep out, I suppose. :( When you've gotten burned on a time and mental investment, you tend to want to present the opposing veiwpoint to the folks that are telling others "Its great, keep reading it." I wish someone had told me what kind of writer Martin really was before I read the books, so yeah, I'll let people know that he's not the writer for everyone when the subject comes up. (btw, the last time I complained about some nasty slamming not even on topic for this forum, I was roundly ridiculed. I suggest if you want to protect the topics you care about that you push for community standards, not try to silence people only when you like the topic being dissed.) Kahuna burger [/QUOTE]
