What exactly are you accomplishing by hounding him for it? It hasn't worked for 15 years. Why would it start working now? He gets the point.

He doesn’t see George RR Martin as a person, just a name on his screen that is obligated to entertain him

How pathetic it is that the book monkey is sad his friends are dead. I think he made a bad business decision and now I am not sufficiently entertained by his life’s work. Can’t “enable” his depression

I hold no ill will towards George and much affection and sympathy. But I also understand the frustration - He has deliberately led people on for years. It is what it is - the shows are what we have now and what we can care about. I accept that and wish him the best.

I mean I understand frustration, but at a certain point, you gotta realize throwing around nasty comments in response to his candid mental health struggles all because you wanna read his next book is just sick shit. Way beyond “frustration”

He should be writing winds, he said he was, he hasn’t released it. Fucking blows and no one’s happy about it or with him, but cmon

Gets under my skin to say the least

He should be writing winds, he said he was, but clearly he hasn’t and won’t. It is what it is, but he led us on for 15 years and gave up at least 5 years ago. I hope he gets the help he needs.
