Actually, I’m pretty sure he wanted to make one more tome to “close” the story, but I’m pretty sure it had nothing to do with robots at all.

you just made my day better. I completely agree with you, specifically on the ” it goes without saying that he continually demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the themes found in the original Dune series.” part.

Everybody knows that TheKJA is a terrible hack who can’t write for toffee. But there’s a much simpler way of sticking two fingers up at him and keeping your canon pure. Just don’t buy, or read, his books. Simples!

This situation is a case-example of why intellectual property rights should not be allowed to live 50-70 years after an author’s death.

SecondRebel, here’s what’s got me confused, if you like the two “writers” why even bother talking to people whom don’t? From what I can see these small chat sites and rooms are designated for discussions between like minded people whom either love or hate something. People are clearly passionate about these things, and rightfully so, the books are written and designed to illicit a vehement emotional response, sometimes that’s good, sometimes that’s very bad. No one is stalking these two gentle sirs (that I know of, or at least not yet, right, guys? Right….? anyone? right?) so it stands to reason sitting here and purging malcontent dialog is probably a more constructive way to deal with these things than anything else. And before you ask, yes, I have read them, (new Books) no I don not like them. (new Books) Yes I have read them (original books) yes i do love them (original Books) INCLUDING God Emperor of Dune. and what’s more, I think more disturbing than vehement dislike for an author is the constantly occurring trend of using texter’s jargon in a function of conversational discourse that in no way should require the need for expedience thereby necessitating anagrams or abbreviates. Case in point, the opening volley of your rant containing GeoD! Uhh EXCUSE ME? Aren’t you trying to articulate a point here? like it or no, respect it or no, how about respecting yourself and your own point of view enough not to convey like a fourteen year old teenage girl on the phone with her girlfriends. How valid can your opinion on writing or writers be if you’re not even going to bother to spell out your examples?! OMG, WTF GTFOOH, man!

Wow, someone acting like a bitch-ass fool, spending an amazing amount of time and bandwidth and hate-blog ragging over the antics one other person for no apparent good reason? Wow, never could have told the difference!

Jesus, at least they can SPELL! If you’re going to complain about authors, it’s usually better to use correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. Man, smell yourselves!
