I agree with every word. He is being beyond rude, he has stated he will not allow anybody to finish the series if he dies before he finishes. If he doesn't want to finish find somebody to finish it. He was more than happy to let HBO do so with the series.

Martin and other authors are hurting the genre, IMO. I will simply not read any 'epic fantasy' series until the author finishes it - and it is due to the failure of Martin and authors like him (Melanie Rawn, anyone?) to fulfill what I believe is at least an implied agreement. It may be 'art' but it is also 'product' and a writer who can't produce will find himself with a hobby instead of a job.

(The one person who gets a pass from me on this is Brandon Sanderson....because he has shown himself to be not only very good but prolific as well. He's also young enough that I actually believe he will finish the series he has started. )
