Are There Any Valid Criticisms? (aka Kalessin's Rant)

[Oliphaunt]

"Gnaar Hrothragha! cried the Arnak. He had dwelt but a few Kaeaons upon the Omulagh (see Appendix 290), and was considered a mere Jyfdwq by the Elders. Upon his mailed swordarm lay the the engraved symbol of Yangfrey (see Book 9, Trilogy 4, Volume 6, Part IX).

that was really funny!
I think that maybe Kalessin you're focusing too much on the respect that Fantasy gets or doesn't get, and maybe it's dirsrespect for literature in general. Someone who only picks up a book when he or she has to isn't going to understand fantasy and less or more than say mystery novels. And as for the Oscar, A Beautiful Mind was a better film than the Fellowship. I don't think thats a knock against fantasy literature though.
