I don't see that he was insensitive or incourteous. You bragged about the extent of your research material, then you mislabeled the culture of a city. You hinted it might be in the Stygia book, so Vincent stated no, it is not. Then he explained why it is not in that book, then listed where...

It isn't any different than most of the Boris covers, comic book covers and Tor book covers for Conan stories through the years. Probably the only real difference is that she is eating her own grapes and is not feeding the grapes to Conan or some Hyborian lord.

I did not see a list of what you did like at all, just some things you did not like, followed by an list with no qualifications as to your opinion. I do own the book, btw, and I have read it cover to cover.

I am pretty sure those are the same codes of honour that appeared in Signs and Portents #13 ("Three Sides of the Coin" by Charles Rice). The text at the start of that article says they work the same as the basic codes of honour.

Warned? I think his concern is trivial. I, for one, can easily think of weird stories with a naked wild woman running through the forests leading men to their deaths, laughing gleefully as she mocks the "strong" men who cannot control their impulses. She has abandoned civilisation (is fallen)...

The King, the issue is not the criticism - which is fine. I think it is the continued browbeating. MadDog stated what he did not like. Fine. The author gave his reasoning (which he didn't have to do, and I would not be surprised if he stopped offering such insights). Instead of saying that...

And just what do you think Thalis, Salome and Valeria were doing with those whips? Playing? They were definitely used as weapons to hurt people. Besides, Servant of Bit-Yakin is right. Have a little fun with it.

I don't see why you are so upset by it, especially after all the evidence that it belongs. That seems pretty straight-forward, and so was his explanation for the nymph.

A Witch Shall Be Born... Salome.
