re: So Wired did a hit piece on Brandon Sanderson of all people

There seems to be a LOT to unpack from the writer...

He seems to loathe a quiet, healthy lifestyle. He seems unfamiliar with loyalty to family and friends who have proven themselves worthy of it. He also comes across as an elitist who becomes pissy once he realizes that what he considers to be refined excellence is considered par (at best) by plenty of others. It's almost like he takes a personal affrontery to people liking things he doesn't care for.

So he finds someone whose work has made him a success but hasn't let it change him from the quiet, centered person he seems to be and his response is to trash him for... what? Not letting his success make him a cocaine-riddled whoremonger?

This "interview" is a perfect example of the sad state of our journalism industry today: ridiculously overly dramatic for no sake other than to draw eyes.
