Gurm announced it was done on May 29, 2005.

AFFC was released on November 8, 2005.

That's 5 months, 10 days. How does it feel to be so very wrong?
Or do you not consider 5 months, 10 days "anywhere near" the 6 months I stated?

Ouch dude, sorry for embarrassing you so hard :(

You're correct. People shouldn't be permitted an opinion or to state a criticism unless they're as successful as the target of criticism.

Logic isn't considered your strong suit, is it?

This part of your post is trolling. Along with several other statements that you have no way of actually knowing. You are just throwing out retarded statements and hoping your vitriol will keep someone from calling you on it.

Someone's unfamiliar with the concept of hyperbole :(
Sorry bro.

Read his blog sometime. It's ridiculous. He's always either at a con or planing to attend one. He hardly ever talked about ASOIAF before the HBO show started production up, opting instead to endlessly post about "Wild Cards" - a truly horrible series. He's made a TON of blog posts that start with "IT'S DONE!!!" and then go on to describe how the latest Wild Cards book will be on store shelves whenever. The first few times were sort of funny. Now he's just trolling his fans, but only those fiercely loyal enough to believe anything the fat man says.

hardly, just bc I don't buy every conspiracy

A conspiracy is, by definition, a plot between two or more people. There isn't a secret cabal hatching plans to discredit the Gurm; he's done that all by himself.

The closest thing to a conspiracy here is when the Gurm takes a trip on a jet and is forced to purchase two tickets. Because he's as big as two people combined, you see.
