Perhaps you misunderstand that caring about the
discussion does not mean that I care overmuch about the arrogance of the author whose preliterate article prompted it. I read the article so I could properly respond to the discussion it sparked, not because I care one whit what some puffed up
Atlantic septic tank of a human has to say about my choice of media.
Were it not for this discussion I would neither know nor care that the original article exists. Your premise is incorrect, and your statement questioning my integrity is insulting.

You know very little about me, but I will inform you that not only are you absolutely incorrect, but one of my hot buttons is being called a liar or a hypocrite, and you managed to do
both without any form of actual evidence of either conclusion in your reply to me.
I cite
specific authors and works in my posts, so as to hopefully direct others to works of fiction that I find pleasing and interesting in the hope that they will also find them the same. The original author makes a big deal out of explaining his art history books without citing a specific example or explaining why it would not translate to electronic media. He wants you to know that he reads art history books. I want you to know that
The Belgariad is a fantastic work of fiction by David Eddings.
Further, I literally said, and you literally
quoted "Bully for him." At no point did I say that he was consuming media incorrectly.

A stronger admonition: My posts have been approved by a moderator through the mod queue, and perhaps you are one or perhaps not, but if you are then this should have been addressed privately. I also find your demeanor insulting and will be utilizing the block feature so as not to further subject myself to it. This will solve any further problems you may have with my language, as well as potential conflicts of personality due to your misunderstandings and erroneous conclusions about me. You're welcome.
