Son of a.....

Ok, I admit it- I liked John C Wright's writing. Specifically on the "...of Chaos" trilogy. And enough to get the wife into reading them as well.

After reading an LJ post of his, however, I'm glad to have only checked those books out of the library, and I'm glad that we haven't spent a dime picking up any of his works new or used. This guy needs to be humbled. Hopefully infamy, followed by poverty will be a good way to start.

Have you read his more recent posts? He appears to repent the scorn and sarcasm while not shifting from his position that homosexuality is a sexual perversion and sinful.

And, you know? I'm okay with that. The kind of okay that would make me want to have coffee with him to hear how he came to his position. I mean, Orson Scott Card is a gibbering mound of hate. This guy's latest posts points to a reasonableness that both the right and the left could use.

Personally, while I'm somewhat all right with it, his tone (and it could just be me reading between the lines) doesn't exactly come off as apologetic. And I have yet to see an actual straightforward apology from the man. Give me that much, and I can get on some level of respecting him. Respecting him as a human being on the other hand will have to wait until he's capable of recognizing that I am indeed human myself, rather than a perverted animal.

Sorry- I'm tired and coming off a bit harshly on that, but honestly? I have zero sympathy for what he got with this one.
