Possible, but this is a time when it would have been better to mock the action rather than the existence.
For sure, but he doesn't exactly have to care if people read their own meaning into it instead of what he originally intended. I think it's telling where people's biases are if they assume he's a pedophile for a tweet like this. It's way more important to go after the real ones than the people who fail one person's personal purity test.
Well, it's not like I'm hiring a PI or anything. The only difference is whether or not I'll read his books. And since I believe strongly in the death of the author, and also in public libraries, he's not making any money off me either way.
I just think his post and the way he said it puts him in a very bad light. As an author, he should be better able to convey his tone.
Totally agree.
