    Big time. For a paltry $7,500, a donor can have his name carved in a set-piece of John Galt's house. No gouging there!

    just posted, again innocently,
    Confused here. How is asking for money (for a t-shirt, for example) either "gouging" or "panhandling"? Both words describe behavior which asks for something for nothing in return. The Kickstarter campaign, as I read it, offers you something for your money. ??

    There you have it folks. "Hate week" has begun. (Orwell 1984)
    This could be a good thing. They say "there is no such thing as bad publicity'.

    The point about turning Kickstarter into Comic-Con is a decent point to be fair, it's using a system for something other than what it was intended. The however here is that these folks are still going to Comic-Con and thus are a part of the problem and not the solution. By not donating you send a message, by not going and not participating, et cetera.

    But that's not the point of the article. It's a screed against the book using the news as a new bludgeon to which I suppose the producers are thinking "Hook, Line, Sinker".

    I've been slow to finish the book thanks to my kids keep me awake at night but I don't understand the hatred. I'll explain more on that front once a finish the book in a few days,
