You make yourselves look a lot worse when you pull out unrelated racial slurs. If you want any other pro-tips I’d be happy to provide them. The fact is, it’s remarkably hard to get anywhere in life if you act like unruly ignoramuses—which I’m sure you aren’t, so don’t act like it.

What is this specifically in response to? I’m clearly missing something…

Most of the offending comments I’ve since deleted, but here’s one I’ve left as documentation of this incident. Basically, we occasionally get fans who wander by and trash talk us, which isn’t really surprising I’ll grant, but it is silly, because it makes them look worse.
They are just supplying me with more data points for a research paper I’m writing entitled “Liking Inheritance Correlated with Poor Mastery of English.”

Those slurs were clearly aimed at me.

I think the amazing success of the forums means that we’re ignoring the main site. In response to Puppet’s wake-up call, I’m beginning to go through a few of our discussions and form them into some coherent articles for the main site.
Oh, please do post it!

Gee, “amazing success”. I sound like an advertisement. Sly should hire me as part of the marketing division.

@Sly – I too demand that you post it.
@Lack of Article-age – I’m working on some, I swear! But college eats so much of my time. ;.;

I’ve finished one article, got a few more in the pipeline. I’m just waiting for submissions to be up and running again. Poor Sly has swine flu.

But you cant delete the Inheritance fans comments, Slyshy! D: they are tiny gold pieces of pure inheritance intelligence! I love reading their struggles to make the sack of poop called inheritance look good. And their ways of trying to make critics dumb, ah, PRICELESS!

Okay, I’ll admit that I read Eragon when I was in grade six, and I liked it. I read Eldest, and thought it wasn’t too bad, CP just went really overboard with Eragon’s self-pity. The third wasn’t too bad either.
The books are not disgusting when you read from a truly open mind. I believe that when we keep in mind all of the cliches and plot-thieving, it was a moderately fair piece of young adult literature.
That being said, there are those who blindly follow in the words of Christopher Paolini, and when they take it to the level of insulting the person, not their argument. The people who do that are the children who have been given access to a keyboard, and then read the comments and discussions on a Nexopia article.

Un-Dante’d – Gosh, it’s nice to meet an Inheritance fan who encounters antis and is pleasant about it! I must admit, I’m kind of fond of Eragon when it came out, in much the same way I’m fond of some of my early writing, even though I look back on it now and wince. It’s what came AFTER Eragon that turned me into an anti.
