1. heheh
I think they're curmudgeonly busy-bodies who have nothing better to do than judge what other people do for entertainment.

2. Idiots, and close-minded
I don't read them myself, and the movies are so-so, but I listened to the first book on a long trip (book on tape) and thought it was very good. Very creative, well written, imaginative.

I'm not much into magic and fantasy except for Harry Turtledove's books.

3. Fuck 'em
I like what I like and they like what they like.

Shouldn't be any kind of a deal.

4. Same as my reaction to people who mock anyone's choice of entertainment
:eyes:

The Potter books are not my cup of tea but certainly a lot of people love them. I enjoy large non-fiction historical works and I know plenty of people who think I'm nuts because of that.

To each his own.

5. My reaction?
:hi: My reaction is that it's obvious those adults have not read the books. If they had, they'd love them! :)

6. Locking
This is a personal attack, and a calling out....

Both are contrary to DU rules.

Respectfully submitted,
