I guess Stephan has been hanging out at the Silver House Tavern in Portland Maine a little to much
I registered to point out to Mr. King that while he has a right to his own opinion, he has no right to his own facts - people who can’t read can’t get into the military. But the webmaster said he (she?) has closed down all posting on all boards and threads until May 12th, as he’s going on vacation.
So - I’ll be back May 12th. There are 3 threads that address this, and most of the posts take Mr. King to task. His fans defend him by saying he contributes books and other stuff to the troops. That doesn’t give him the right to make up lies, though.
Gee, nice sentiment of "free speech" (but not for thee).
Desposts don't believe in democracy, they only believe in "winning" and getting their way.
>>Hi, Noel—Stephen King says to shut up and I agree<<
Did a “Nah-nah-nah-nah-boo-boo” come with the message?
I’d like to contribute a small-minded insult aimed at mere authors, but my wife is one. However, she’s got degrees in Chemistry, Ops Research, and ABD Computer Science. She writes well, and writes fiction that poor Mr King would have to return to class to understand. Oh, she was military too. I’ll not talk about my military background - all encompassing areas that I’m afraid Mr King could not understand. If he’d like to match intellects, both she and I will be there. Hope he’s prepared to look foolish.
He makes me ashamed to be a fellow Red Sox fan. I read his
book about following the Sox in ‘04 and he kept talking about how enthusiastic he was about the prospects of a President Kerry, etc. HA ha.
it must be the end for this author. The seem to self destruct at their final moments.
OK King, when are you going to actually write something scary? Until then I would kindly suggest you STFU.
One has to wonder about King’s mind. Who on earth thinks like that anyway? Such vile, wicked, disgusting stuff he writes about... and then he attacks our military? Oh that is right, he is an artist at work (like the dog being starved by an artist) our miiltary is only saving his behind so he can live in a Free country without Terrorist attacks. They are wicked to King. What a joke!
Silly me! (sarcastic look)
I would not put much faith in a man who is so unaware of his surroundings that he won’t get out of the road when a van is bearing down him.
Obviously we are seeing some brain damage show up.
Stephen King is used to talking while everybody else just listens. It must come as quite a shock to him to find that not all of his readers wish to swallow every morsel of wisdom he drops into their mouths.
SK obviously doesn't know much about the US Military. :>
Stephen King must think he is more than an author. He must think that he has transcended that role to wealthy icon who is immune to public opinion. I have a hunch he is about to learn an important lesson about what happens to big mouth authors who show no or little respect for the broad range of their readers.
So his website just “shut down” after his stupid remarks. Yeah; right. It “shut down” probably because 99.9% of the comments were negative to King and his ego can’t stand anyone telling him he’s a dope.
Or is it S-M-R-T?
I might take Stephen King a little more seriously if he would learn how to end a story. The only two books of his I read, “It” and “The Stand” were deeply engrossing right up until the end, at which point they sucked so bad they made me angry that I had wasted my time reading the book. Two was enough. Oh, and the movie versions tend to suck even worse. The only decent Stephen King movie was “Silver Bullet”.
King is a hack author, who wouldn’t amount to a pimple on the butt of H.P. Lovecraft.
Looks like Stephen King is a coward who is running from the discussion.
