Analysis.
Most of the posts i had in this thread were on his qualities as a writer. Although at first there was a heated discussion, particularly with 'stretched', on this matter it later calmed down considerably and we even ended up with a conclusion we could both live with. I find it hard to believe that if I had a blind hate for the man and wanted to kick him when he was down that I would concede to the point he had literary qualities that appealed to a subset of the population. I would just have kept slamming him till he cried.
And then there is the matter that Tiassa made a post about himself, describing his own actions. If you are allowed to go all mushy over his actions you are also allowed to criticize his actions. Most sciforumers actually do not post any detail on their personal life on this forum for good reasons. That is because they do not want to discuss it here. If you make a thread on your life you'd better be ready to be criticized. Especially if you deserve some criticism.
In fact I don't think Tiassa really minds the attention I give him. It feeds his illusion of 'grandeur'.
