Like I care! Also: you're here? That's cool. EDIT: I am so obviously the terrible Four-In-One. You see, I happen to be simultaneously two Americans, one of whom is a New York pop star, a Norwegian/Finn, and an English teenager living in Belgium, for after delving into the Kabbalah I discovered...

Er, it kinda wasn't. If I did overreact, it was because I saw it as what it was - an argument. My reply out of order? The phrase has really lost all meaning for you if you consider a reasoned, part-by-part dismantling of your argument 'out of order'. So you won't be listening to me anymore...

Mea culpa, I will keep that in mind next time I feel obligated to write a review.

Well, some of the people arguing for his writing here...haven't exactly been bastions of rationality *takes a pointed glance at wingman*. If they had been, this thread would be shorter. Also, to be fair, it is rather pathetic to indulge in conspiratoria over a book review on a forum you don't...

Look, don't try a tu quoque on me. Since your response to my review was so childish, I will be the adult here. If you act like a child when communicating with other people, I will treat you like one. Anyway, I am sixteen, and will be seventeen next month. Mr. Slade, whatever his age is...

Yes. Other people can talk on about Stuart, but he's not important to me.

It got torrented by some guy in Ukraine, which made Stuart pull a massive hissy fit, ranting about how it had ruined his chances of real publication (as if posting the story on a public internet forum and writing it so badly Baen probably wouldn't touch it hadn't done that in the first place)...

I'm not obsessive, and paranoid? I'm mocking Stuart's paranoia that everything is to do with a one-man conspiracy of Emannuel Goldstein Norseman. But yes, I suppose I should try and let the argument die down. Slade's only one pathetically deluded waste of valuable carbon atoms, after all.

Yes, I suppose you have done that small bit of honesty...unlike 'wingman' here, who leapt straight into conspiracy theories.

Wow, an author telling people to 5-star his books in response to criticism. Definitely not the actions of an insecure self-promoter. Also, this is a pretty good look at Stuart's mind. Yeah, he apologised, but his declarations of technical/historical accuracy in response to an attack on literary...

'Slating'? A negative review of something you like doesn't mean you have to instantly leap to the defence. God knows there are negative reviews of 'Born This Way' floating around the collectively unintelligent atmosphere of the blogosphere, and you know what? I don't give a damn about them.

People can mention other people without using their names/nicknames/whatever. It's called implication. Let's give you an example. Say, I talk to a Lady Gaga fan about 'Mother Monster', using it throughout the conversation. The fan knows instantly who I'm talking about every time I say it, even...

Er, on HPCA you mentioned 'Stuart's admirer' in reference to me/Norseman, so don't try and feign ignorance. Also, you oculdn't have been on it ten years without hearing about his critics, of whom Norseman was the most notable. Also, if he can't get a mainstream publisher, doesn't that cast...

Yes, Kratman goes into mad frothing rants at his critics, Stuart and his followers into pathetically deluded conspiratoria and paranoiac 'hunt-the-Norseman' games. Same basic tendency of denialism though, but the ways they handle the idea that they/their grand poohbah might be a bad writer are...

By 'discuss' you mean 'spout conspiratoria about me secretly being Norseman while belittling/ignoring the actual review'? Well, their opinions are good for a laugh. Also, I like their opinion of my screenname, because when I picked it, to all my awareness it was just the name of a Warhammer 40K...
