More Meme Therapy elsewhere

And here's the second Meme Therapy question I answered: "Is it worth maintaining the thin red line between Science Fiction and Fantasy?" Oh, just guess what the gist of my answer was. C'mon. You can do it. I believe in you.

The Judean People's Front

[(Anonymous)]

I'm again reminded of the collesium scene in Life of Brian where the Judean rebels harshest critics are other Judean rebels.

I'm Jose one of the usual suspects at Meme Therapy. The person who you are referring to is Rosie and he just doesn't like Fantasy. It's not a rational dislike in my opinion but there you have it. I've tried to turn him on to China and Gemmel but he won't have it.

"Splitters!"

Ahem. Anyway, I think that when the stated reason is that fantasy novels always do something they don't, yah, it's a pretty irrational dislike. Not all dislikes are required to be rational -- but at that point I think it's okay to just say, "I don't like fantasy; it's not my thing."
