Many of you will probably know him as the author of Ender’s Game. One of the most popular science fiction books. To me, it was a pretty good book, I enjoyed it every step of the way, but it wasn’t overly memorable.

Today though, after reading this, I suddenly have a new respect for the man. Now, I haven’t finished reading all the Harry Potter books (i think the last one I read was 4th or so), but this still struck a chord with me.

The long and short of it, we have a very popular author speaking his mind and denouncing the action of another one (Rowling). Now, some of the points aren’t great (while Stouffer did have a lawsuit, it seems it got dismissed and also failed on appeal which is not mentioned), it does show that not every author is like Rowlings. It is possible to both be successful and allow others to be just as successful.

You would think, if Rowlings herself used the site, she would be the first to add her own quote to the usefulness of the Lexicon.
