1. I was hoping Tor (read: Bantam) is putting pressure on Martin. I see that sadly, this is not the case.

2. I said that I had lost interest in the series, and honestly I know a lot of other people who have likewise lost interest in the series. That translates into lower revenue. All of this is true - I stated my opinion, the opinions of my friends and the market effect of that sentiment. Citing Wheel of Time does not really help your argument, either. Look at the general consensus on Crossroads of Twilight - the fan base was drifting. If Jordan had not started to wrap things up with Knife of Dreams the fan base would have been lost. I never said it had reached a critical mass, only that Martin would do well to remember his promises.

3. Martin has a pilot with HBO - are you aware of something I'm not? Did they already sign for a full season?

4. The entirety of the statement "your whole post was about how ADWD was going to be pointless, and nothing in it of any importance was going to happen because those events have been pushed back to a later book" is completely wrong. I never said anything remotely like that.

In fact, to summarize, I simply said (a) A Feast for Crows was bad because the good character lines were missing, (b) the book that was originally designated A Dance With Dragons is a different book as a result, (c) I'm not happy, other people aren't happy and the result on the market could be negative, and (d) this series could drag out for years and years.

Absolutely none of the above are "fictitious points". So I'll just ignore the rest of your obnoxious petty douchebag last paragraph.
