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.

(And thanks for the linkage goes to [livejournal.com profile] naamah_darling.)

Hal Duncan has a good response to him here (http://notesfromthegeekshow.blogspot.com/2009/08/open-letter-to-john-c-wright.html).

Yep- caught that one earlier today, and I must admit, I love it. Though I also love the "closed letter" reply that naamah did in her own journal today as well.

Both of them though, while I love them for tone and thought, will, I think, have little to no effect on this kind of wingnut. I especially love that he's now deleted his original post and moved on to some rather backhanded attempts at apologizing.

Yeah, I just read hers. But you're right -- they won't have any effect on him -- people spouting idiocy like that can't coexist with rational thought, so they act like it doesn't exist (rather like Fox News, come to think of it).
