Troll Bridge

[Lawrence Watt-Evans]

Okay, usually I appreciate Terry, but I've run out of patience for his
two current strings of abuse and temporarily killfiled him. If he
says anything interesting or worthwhile in the next several days,
would someone let me know?

Thanks.

(Hi, Terry. Have fun -- Alan's proving a much better chew-toy than
I'd have expected.)

And here I thought that this post would be about Colossal Cave.

Of course, if he did, likely someone would reply to it, and you would not avoid
seeing it anyways...

Oh, I killfiled HIM several days ago, and for longer than you. He's
boring.

I don't think you'll be disturbed. And I think that
a public declaration was a mistake.

He does that all the time, without warning.

Let me get this straight; you want to know when he's not in troll mode but you find what he writes so distasteful that you can't bring yourself to read him to find out, so you try to recruit others to subject themselves to the horror of his prose *for* you?

Really? May I eat cake now?

Which is why I asked for someone else to warn me.

That's pretty much it, yeah. I know there are some people on here who
either killfile by thread (which my newsreader doesn't do), or don't
killfile at all, and I hoped one would inform me.

For that matter, Terry knows pefectly well how to get around my
killfile if he wants to, so he might tell me himself.

The problem is that he does shift out of troll mode at particular
points but as long as TK's still playing baitfish there'll be a lot of

Doubtless he is not so cruel and selfish as all that.

Perhaps, instead, he suspects there are others with stronger stomachs or weaker
killfiles who will, incidentally as a result of their own newsgroup activities,
come across the things he posts - and thus, they can let him no without
incurring the cost of reading his posts more often than they already do.

I have no idea. I don't care whether I please Terry or not; I was
aiming at other readers. I was assuming that anyone with any sense
wasn't reading the threads where he and Alan were trading insults
without trimming the several screens of accumulated cruft. Therefore,
if I'd posted my request there, no one whose opinion I value
(excluding Terry) would have seen it.

The correct response to that is for _everyone_ to mention him in
_every_ review, even if it's a review on toothpaste on Amazon.

Huh, I don't get it ?

And I am reading Kratman's fifth book in his Carerra series. It is very good. Terry does not have any such redeeming factors.

I actually bought this book several months back, BTW it is the sixth book in the series, not the fifth book. This is the 8th ???
book of his that I have read. I will probably buy more of his books if they look good. And I still buy Scalzi's books even though I
think very lowly of his politics. I try to disconnect the author and the books, they are are rarely the same for good authors.

And yes, his behavior here has been disappointing. At first it was a little amusing (very little !) but that bridge burned down
quite a while back. In his defense, someone made a derogatory remark of his name that seemed to set him off.

I can understand why some people find _Caliphate_ controversial.

However, he has written many other books, such as the Carerra series, which was
the subject of a recent thread here, which, although being mil-sf, and thus
violent, and thus not everyone's cup of tea, are not particularly to be
reprobated any more than the bulk of the rest of Baen's output - and, in fact,
which seem to meet with applause from their readers.

You’re a bit slow. As has been pointed out in considerable

inaccurate.

So? Dan Brown is very popular, too. TK is a mediocre
writer. There are self-published authors who are better.

[Scott Lurndal]

I've read that the average lifetime sales for most published books runs in the
10,000 copy range[*].

Mr. Kratman can double or triple that and he's still only penetrating a very
small part of the national or worldwide population.

It's not out of the question that 10,000 people in the USA are of
similar belief and temperment as any author, no matter how offensive
the author may be.

[*] http://www.stevelaube.com/what-are-average-book-sales/

[Tom Kratman]

Probably a bit more than triple, in all forms, and then multiply by something from 3 to 5 times for people who borrow books, or pirate them, or buy them used, etc. Can you find the posts where I insisted I was a world-shaker? I can't seem to remember writing them but the reaction of some folks, and especially on the part of the ever-so-caring-and-sensitive left, suggests that I must be.

So you did come here because someone mentioned your name.

To me, writing a book like _Caliphate_ in order to awaken people to where
uncritical dedication to equality, heedless of potential consequences, might
lead... is a positive act, even if one can also understand the thinking of
those who are scandalized by it.

Writing a book that has the potential of promoting ethnic or religious
stereotyping merely as light entertainment... while I'm not as put out by this
as the PC crowd is (as having movies in which, say, muggers are never allowed
to be black does not, in fact, change people's vision of the real world, but
instead only opens up political correctness to ridicule) ... could, I think,
legitimately, be regarded as more morally questionable.

However, Heinlein's reputation survived Farnham's Freehold (never mind Starship
Troopers) - and I'm very well aware of what, say, Egypt's Coptic Christians
have to put up with, nor do I have any sympathy for terrorists, and so if light
entertainment happens to send truthful messages, I can't be terribly upset.

No, no, its "James Nicoll hears about this 'embarrassment' emotion and

Funny, I thought I was expressing _disapproval_. What, you just wrote Caliphate for money? Then you have no excuse for offending the politically correct, because while I detest political correctness, I admit that encouraging bigotry is wrong.

At least that's what I thought I was saying, although I went on to _temper_
that criticism noting that even entertaining fiction has a right to be set in
