Given that:<br />- you just read the book,<br />- you probably are an expert in the area (I'm nobody to judge but I believe you),<br />- you complained that my blog doesn't add anything to the online community,<br />why don't _you_ write an online review against the book? A real one, not a rant, so that people who don't know you would care... a real contribution to the community, at least from your point of view.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485097839438234853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711392513532681917.post-19337843560912031362010-09-06T21:52:23.077+02:002010-09-06T21:52:23.077+02:00> laughable plot and characters
I know there&#...> laughable plot and characters<br /><br />I know there's little plot, I just don't consider a plot necessary for all books. Who makes the criteria? Among people I know and I consider literature experts, I don't think anybody requires it.<br />On the other side, I know that the plot needs to make some sense<br /><br />> I read it all, just to prevent the "You didn't read it, your opinion doesn't count!" problem.<br /><br />I'm not sure what you mean. Do you refer to the book? I never made such a complaint, because I didn't wonder whether you had read it. And I didn't ask you to read it.<br /><br />However, _if_ you refer to the book, as it seems, now you are losing points in the discussion, after I had acknowledged part of your concerns by email, and the discussion had started to cool down.<br /><br />I had mentioned the summaries of critiques on Wikipedia, which acknowledge that it's a bit flattering, but don't _complain_ because they find other good facets of the book.<br /><br />However, if you already hate a book in that way because of summaries you read, there's no point in you reading it. Not at all. Sorry, but it's not my fault.<br /><br />I hope to hear from you soon, also on different topics :-D.

But splitting the post in two parts, if it is truly too long, would be trivial and faster.<br /><br />[About merging posts: I don't care, and I can't post for you, but you could have deleted and reposted them. Please don't do so now, since this comment would then make less sense. I will instead remove the annoying "removed post" message which is above.]<br /><br />About needling you: only the Twitter post was slightly tuned to needle you, and only slightly (I referred to its optimistic tone), and you had written your first comment here. I really don't remember if I wrote other stuff like that, especially published. Anyway, it's fun to see you like that, like it's fun for you when you needle me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485097839438234853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711392513532681917.post-68855530826401603182010-09-05T03:05:23.570+02:002010-09-05T03:05:23.570+02:00[PS: Damn, I forgot a thing (can you, by any chanc...[PS: Damn, I forgot a thing (can you, by any chance, merge the posts? Or delete them both, and copy-paste them in one single post? I know, it's a bother, feel free to ignore me, but I tend to be extremely anal about things like these)]<br /><br /><br />Also, you really have to stop writing stuff just for the sake of "needling me". I'm not THAT important, and I'm beginning to think that's a thing you declare only after I go apeshit on that stuff...you know, the old "upper hand" stuff.<br />Your colleagues agree on what?Mauro Nanfitònoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711392513532681917.post-68400518621901498332010-09-05T02:55:50.337+02:002010-09-05T02:55:50.337+02:00The bed is a little short, but overall a good bed....The bed is a little short, but overall a good bed.<br />And, thing is, I didn't spend much time thinking about the optimal way to present a post on an unkwnown blog on blogspot: as long as an OCR software can read that, so can a person, and that's all.<br />You're not gonna get the "upper hand" with something like that, or with a "loser" here and there, you know?<br /><br />Oh, I'm the stickyman in XKCD. <br />You referenced XKCD, you got me!<br />How cute.<br /><br />Kind of useless digs, I must say.<br /><br /><br /><br />You'll find the rest of the reply in your mailbox<br /><br /><br /><br />A closestenemies-y "Go sit in a field of cacti"<br />MauroMauro Nanfitònoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711392513532681917.post-29509045692301928752010-09-04T23:20:20.765+02:002010-09-04T23:20:20.765+02:00Hi Mauro!

I think the term is appropriate for me and you, even if we're not a romantic couple.<br /><br />I had a brief look at the email (because I got all your comment versions by email), but I would never have thought you would post your comment in JPEG, rather than PNG (where text is readable) or splitting it in 2 comments!!! I would expect something like that from a loser, not from you. Guess who you are here: http://www.xkcd.com/763/.<br /><br />Anyway, it's so funny to see you react like that. I hoped that you would also comment on my Facebook/Twitter post about the "nice paper rejection" (BTW, my colleagues agree on that): I wrote it so optimistically also for the point of needling you.<br /><br />But it's also somewhat annoying, because you, Mauro, can't write as you speak.<br /><br />You'll find the rest of the reply in your mailbox.<br /><br />See you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485097839438234853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711392513532681917.post-65253502529950218532010-08-29T03:19:40.903+02:002010-08-29T03:19:40.903+02:00I guess 3000 characters are too much for Blogspot ...I guess 3000 characters are too much for Blogspot to handle.<br />Well, <a href="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/Tuttomauro/TheonlyhedgehogworthadamnisSonic.jpg" rel="nofollow">when life gives you lemons...</a>Mauro Nanfitònoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711392513532681917.post-62173340776348226372010-08-28T04:56:36.816+02:002010-08-28T04:56:36.816+02:00Mauro, thanks for your comment, I always appreciat...Mauro, thanks for your comment, I always appreciate critical discussion. But you didn't comment on the "About me" box on the right of this blog! Had you noticed?<br /><br />Now that you read it, are you wishing you never did? Disgusted?
