THOOLAH has come to redeem your mortal soul.

[Rigel]

Problem is that a raver did violate Linden. She just learn to kick them out.
And she knows how to get rid of a raver.. she was there when Nom had lunch.

I always understood that Linden violated the Raver worse than he violated her...

I needed that. Thank you, Rigel.

I am neither THOOLAH or anti-THOOLAH (*shifts uncomfortably on the fence*) but that was funny!

No silly, OPAL!

My opinions not pending...I don't like Linden, but hate's too strong a word, maybe stongly-dislike...

[Worm of Despite]

I have decided to retract my membership from THOOLAH and go independent. This is mainly because: A) I very much enjoy Linden in the 2nd Chrons; her dynamic was needed in a series that, to me, wasn't as memorable as the First Chrons. Not because I think it wasn't as fresh or out of ideas (I simply like the Hitler-style forces of evil against good). It also added a dynamic that I very much wanted to see and had enjoyed immensely with Hile Troy (two Earth-folk in the Land).

But I think having her the main character for two Thomas Covenant books is too much. One Tree did it well; Runes

Spoiler

could've used editing (nothing much happened in the book, let's be honest; it takes till the end to get to Revelstone, while in LFB we're at Revelstone by the mid-way point and so much more left to do). Fatal Revenant was slightly more interesting, simply because we got to see a faux-Thomas Covenant for the first 100 or so pages.

Mod edit: watch your spoilers in this forum!-d

So I am no longer a card-carrying THOOLAH. The Linden Problem is much more complex than the demagogues here would make out.

Then you are now a member of OPAL. Welcome to the fold...

[danlo]

Beware! Becoming a part of any thing that Menolly is involved in is very scary! Just look at the Pantheon, just look at that avatar (a refuge from a bad Hari Krishna acid trip!! )!

[Menolly]

just look at that avatar (a refuge from a bad Hari Krishna acid trip!! )!

nah...
blame the avatar on Facebook and its quizzes...

[danlo]

Oh yeah! And avoid Facebook as well, even scarier!

I've joined THOOLAH and there's no looking back!

HLT's quiz on Facebook puts me squarely in the THOOLAH class.

...I say it's fixed.

OPAL!

[Demondime-a-dozen-spawn]

Does SRD anywhere address the fact that many of his readers have a virulent disdain for Linden Avery?

I'd love to read his take on the issue of Linden Loathing/Avery Aversion.

Go to Intro 4 and watch that video.
He addresses that directly.
*it was sooo funny to be there*

[Demondime-a-dozen-spawn]

Ha!

Thanks for that. I was hoping for a serious discussion he may have had on the topic, but that was certainly worth the watching.

The rest of the clips are great too.

Thanks again for the links!

OMG!
I've never seen that before.
You guys started chanting "THOOLAH!!"
I'm going to be laughing for weeks now.
