Wow. Tough Audience.Serkanner wrote:You have arrived here on the board where fans of the original books of Dune by Frank Herbert gather. We have some rather outspoken opinions about the atrocities that are being published with the name Dune on it.
If you don't know what OH stands for then your aren't one.
I don't know who you are and we have never met, but opening a topic called: "Marie Fenring vs Ender Wiggin - SmackDown of the 6 year olds" is a dead giveaway about a severe lack of taste in literature and for me a reason to make as much fun about you as possible.
I also suggest you try to read Dune again and a bit more closely this time. You might end up understanding the word Sietch which is a rather important part of the book.
I do not feel I have a lack of taste in literature. But I do like to have fun and enjoy the works, even to the point of satire.
I don't understand why everything has to be so serious and why insults and incredulity come so easily to mind for some fans.
I do not mean to be insulting - I appreciate the works a great deal - but I'm not an obsessive fan. I'm just a fan. The type of fan who thinks it can be funny to watch blooper reels and out-takes for a good laugh or chuckle.
I would hope that there is room on various dune fan forums for a bit of levity along with the serious discussions that exist there.
Perhaps I'm simply not the type of fan who is welcome at either of the two sites I have initially found.
I don't understand why, but if that is the reality I face, then I will perhaps opt not to contribute much in the near future.
