I dunno about anyone else, but my disdain for OSC has nothing to do with his novels (I haven't read that many of them). It has always been his social views, especially regarding homosexuality and gay marriage, that have gotten up my nose. Not to mention his support of so-called "Intelligent Design" in opposition to evolutionary theory.Based on what, in the article, exactly? His disdain for the "mainstream" media? Hell, something like 70% of America has that, according to polls.
I don't know him personally, of course, but everything I've read about him makes him sound like a fairly typical nutbar fundie.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear he's trying to get Harry Potter banned from schools, next...
