Calling her a "hack" and then spending the rest of the thread attacking other people is trolling. There is no legitimate discussion going on here. You are fishing for flames, otherwise known as trolling.

Being derogatory is not trolling. Any fashion in which I could have said I did not like her work, by definition would be derogatory. I absolutely abhor her writing, obviously I'm going to be extremely critical of it.I couldn't care less if you hate Golden's writing. Sure, as tie-in authors go, she's generally considered decent; and I still wonder if you've read any tie-ins at all. But that's all beside the point.
The point is that you could have called out the B.S. writing in
The Shattering
, then simply stated that you didn't like Golden's writing anyway. If that's what you'd done, no one would have cared. But no; you called her a "hack." You were deliberately being inflammatory.
Again; by very definition, I am not trolling.Only because you've conveniently redefined the term to suit your purpose.
Read the initial statement in this post.Read the initial statement in
mine
.
Lets see, we're in a thread that has the purpose of talking about Garrosh. Your posts to/about me have nothing to do with Garrosh and have only served to derail the thread. You are, in fact trolling.And here, we have yet
another
"I know you are, but what am I?" This time, considering
you're
the one who initially derailed the thread, it's also compounded by massive hypocrisy.
That's exactly why I'm being 'called out' for trolling.No, it isn't. And continuing to
insist
that it is doesn't change that fact.
Again, I voiced an honest opinion about a writer, so I'm not sure why you're offended.Because you very quickly went from "offering your honest opinion" to playing the victim and talking trash.
As for 'self-aggrandizing', well we're back to you grasping at straws, because that simply isn't happening. I gather no power from this thread."Grasping at straws?" What are you on about? Your patronizing attitude is self-evident.
Quite simply, you're looking for a devil and I hate to break it to you but I'm not it.And now, you're playing the victim
again
.
Regardless, this thread (a thread I enjoy reading and posting in) has been derailed by you folks enough. Says the guy
responsible
for the initial derail. Don't let the door hit you.
Sheesh...WTB ignore function on this forum.
He's not trolling.Could have fooled me. (ETA: Looks like Delt retracted that anyway.)
That said: I don't think Garrosh Hellscream is salvageable as a character. His characterization has been wildly inconsistent to the point at which it's no longer believable. And, while there have been
attempts
to make him more sympathetic, they fall flat for just about anyone who's been following his alleged development.

But you're trolling yourselves and the thread."Trolling yourself" is a contradiction in terms.

In case he is a troll, you're bitting on purpose. Happy?"Stop feeding him" would have sufficed.
I still think that Garrosh Hellscream's characterization has been too random and inconsistent (the only consistent element has been RAEG, really) for him to be salvageable.

Told you all to ignore him.Hey—it was already pretty well derailed by the time I officially jumped in. And I've been trying to get it back on track.
Any thoughts on my statement that Garrosh Hellscream is not salvageable by the means of any normal and rational storytelling? I mean, at this point, he'd pretty much have to turn out to have a shard of saronite buried in his brain. And it'd have to be in so deep as to require Thrall, Aggra, and Tahu Sagewind all casting healz simultaneously to remove it without killing or severely damaging him.

Dr. Seuss could salvage Garrosh.That's because his storytelling was never particularly normal or rational.

The Cat and the Hat is the most rational and normal story ever written.
