Ok I have been quiet for to long .... The spoilers are there for a reason .... Some of the list members are 15 16 and have just finished magician .... They have loved it as much as we do and so they join this list ... "Spoilers" is not a difficult thing to put into the subject line ... By the way good day to alll. Haven't been around for way to long

We do need to be cautious about giving away vital details about books but when you mention trivial things it shouldn't be considered a big deal. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Green <[email protected]> To: feistfans-l <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Apr 4, 2012 8:57 am Subject: Re: Rules of engagement Have to say I sort of agree with Parks. It's hard to have a discussion about Ray's books if we can't reveal spoilers about any books. Magician has been out for about 30 years now. Maybe we need to have a list rule for new joiners that maybe they shouldn't read the list until they've ready at least the first series? Seriously, of you haven't read at least Magician, why are you reading the Feist list instead of Ray's actual books? I'd be shocked of the vast majority of this list hadn't read everything but he most recent book or two. Sometimes this list makes me want to go back to my English lit classes and tell "spoilers!" every time the prof tries to discuss Shakespeare.

A clear breach of the rules as well....Which I have now read...( I'm a newbie here)... the rules prohibits humor, satire, sarcasm, politics, race and religion.........perhaps we should write a new rule to eliminate the banal, trivial, stupid, pedantic, irritating, entertaining and tasteless contributions too.. There really is not much interesting or literary in the contributions I have read over the last 6 weeks..drinking shots in Newark Rhode Island included... perhaps the publishing gaff and that fans in the USA have had to wait 6 or more weeks for a book launch over the rest of the world should be discussed. A sign of a declining Empire?.. Is the Kingdom (sic) under threat?.Could it be a good reason for deploying more US troops?..also maybe too political and in such a sycophantic forum ....another reason to curb your First amendment Rights!.... Oh I forgot, the military have severely curtailed freedom of speech rights for the troops anyway..... And keep politics out of Sports too!...yeah right! ...Clearly the fan list was set up and managed by grey (regardless of age) bureaucrats...where is your passion , energy and creativity...I see none....Pathetic " spoilers" and other protocols restrict real discussions about plot and character...I have seen no interesting questions or contributions recently that add much value beyond vague error ridden snippets...I can only assume there is none here.... I will go and wait for the annual publication... I Hope it is better proofread and I will stick to blogs and forums that have something to say in future...... > > cheers > > Parks3 > > > > Sent from my iPad > > On 4/04/2012, at 1:22 PM, "James Young" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Seconded. >> >> -James >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> >> To: "feistfans-l" <[email protected]> >> Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 7:52 PM >> Subject: Re: New book replacement thread response. >> >> >>> >>> This email is exactly why politics is not discussed here on the List.
