I find the Dan Brown comments interesting, but let me see if I can recast them ...

frui, liked Dan Brown. Your comments to the contrary, you are not frui. You can not tell frui that he/she did not like Dan Brown, because they did. So your hate on Dan Brown comes out as an insult to frui.

It implies that frui lacks taste or that he/she is uneducated, or ...

Whatever, happened to the no hitting rule?

It's not that I am against discussion and critique on books and authors. However, that discussion would seem to fit better in a thread like this: "Why is Dan Brown So Popular" or "What I don't like about Dan Brown".

Let's pretend that frui had walked up and said, see this shirt I am wearing? It is the nicest shirt I have ever owned, but I can't find any more like it in the stores. Can you suggest where I can go to buy it? In response, some of you have replied, "Whoever designed that shirt had no taste. It's a shirt no one in their right mind would wear. You only like it because you're not a native (English speaker)."
