Simba B: “they cry about our lack of logic and “intelligence” (e.g. we have actual human emotions)….*yawn* it really isn’t all that amusing, it’s kind of sad really…”

Life is sad, Simba.

Was he really crying? I just thought he was mentioning it in passing. Then leaving.

Andrew—here’s our obligatory one attempt to explain this website to you before reverting to standard operating procedure:

This is a snark website. It’s comedy. We don’t take things seriously, and when you come in here, obviously trolling, you are going to get the standard treatment.

Your lack of appreciation/understanding for this doesn’t change anything.

Methinks the proprietors need to preface any topic of interest to engineers, computer science majors, or science fiction fanboys with a disclaimer, because it seems we get those types invariably showing up in the comments (usually three days after the thread has died) and not getting the way we do things around here—when they’re trolled right back they cry about our lack of logic and “intelligence” (e.g. we have actual human emotions)….*yawn* it really isn’t all that amusing, it’s kind of sad really…

I thought I was talking with mature, intelligent posters.

The final word of your first post was, “duh.”

Any way Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle could be uninvited from PulpCon this year? They’ll just get pied if they show up.

Sorry, I just got here, but I couldn’t let Singularity’s slip-up slide:

Finally, in Inferno, there is the petty fate Niven assigns to an unnamed science fiction writer who “created his own religion”, locked away in a searing hot tomb with a neon sign above it flashing “So it goes” over and over…

Actually, Vonnegut’s in as an atheist, not a religion-maker. The SF writer in with the Sowers of Discord “founded a religion… which masks as a form of lay psychiatry.”

[Confidential to A.P.: when a writer consistently expresses the same views in (in this case) his fiction over a period of years, I think people can be excused for thinking he's expressing his personal views.]

Oh, so that’s why (19:48 post) people use pseudonyms. I thought I was talking with mature, intelligent posters. Forgive my mistake. Of course, by hijacking my name, you show how empty of reason and thought this entire topic is…

FALLEN ANGELS was first published in 1991. The Baen Books edition was published in 2002. Some dumb retard on this list didn’t bother to look at the copyright page when they posted their “Gee, how dumb can these guys be on Global Warming” rant.

Also, as usual, people associate the ideas expressed in someone’s fiction with their personal views.

BTW, Iain M. Banks and Iain Banks are the same person. Duh…

…Thomas Perry’s epic masterpiece “Metzger’s Dog”, …

mikey, that’s one of my favorites too. I assume you’ve read the Jane Whitefield books. great stuff.

The great thing about Banks is that you can reread any of his books every year or two With the exception of Raw Spirit.

Oh, sorry. I was referring to Iain M. Banks, not Iain Banks. I've never been impressed by his non-sf, non-middle-initialed books.

LI-er -
(Not wordplay – I’ve found the only people who pronounce it the way you wrote it are from NJ and MA, didn’t want to give them the satisfaction)

Good of you to provide DB with a laugh (oh wait – “LOL”).

Too bad he didn’t get it the first time.

(Of course, it’s possible he did, but didn’t want to give me the satisfaction, etc. If that’s the case, I’m gonna have to go cry in a corner, etc.)

So, how are things in LI these days?

Bradbury’s had a few crotchety old man moments in the past couple years. OTOH, he’s had a number of strokes that have affected him, too. He was irritated by the title of “Fahrenheit 9/11″, and he did praise Bush’s support of educational initiatives like No Child Left Behind, and there was a bit of hoo-hah about political correctness back in the 90′s when that boogeyman was waved at people by the media, but I haven’t heard much that would rate him being classed as a hardcore wingnut.

So another sci-fi writer who’s a rightwing loony? The list is getting mighty long these days. (Robert Heinlein, Orson Scott Card, Ray Bradbury…) No wonder Vonnegut used to write how he hated getting lumped in with these dorks.
