I'd like to apologize if my posts sounded as if I was attacking Mr. Martin in any way. This wasn't my intention, I don't really know anything about him and the discussions about his books. I was merely surprised by some of the reactions to propositions made by others here on this forum and in the linked article.
There's no need for apology. Nothing you said was offensive in any way. You're entitled to have contrary opinions. That's how we learn from one another.
