I have not said she is a meaningless writer, that her books are intrinsically bad.
Merely that it is disingenuous to say she is the most famousest writer ever. This is completely separate from the fact that her political and moral opinions are in fact meaningless to me -- she just writes good stories... that are not really so popular now, so it is no huge loss for people to boycott her, however silly it may be.
And she certainly isn't indispensable.
As far as I am concerned, she is a good writer whose books happen to not match my tastes, and who on a completely unrelated note happens to have stuck her nose in where it doesn't belong, speaking about that which she knows not, due to her blinding social elitism.
And tastes change and evolve; it is beautiful that she gets a lot of awards both deserved and not, and also completely irrelevant to expanding her readership and thus fulfilling the purpose of writing the books in the first place.
