Dhraiden sez:
I cannot recall one author or artist who would appear to come anywhere close to embodying archetypal heroic qualities of the genre in either thought or deed (publicly), and certain not looks.
Frazetta probably being the most exceptional exception.
Probably for the best, anyway, in that those who look like they could fight a dragon, probably could not so well write about one.

I am not commenting on an author, just the silly way one has been presented to me.
Shamed Commenter sez:
Because your perception of a certain historical period has been shaped by events in that period with which you are familiar.
Confident Commenter sez:
The “memorized” name field here was making me appear to be passive aggressive. Apologies.
Frimpinheap sez:
If you apologize for anything, I would prefer it be for trying to reprimand me after somebody already has over something that is completely and, I thought, obviously stupid and inconsequential because I recognized that I spend too long writing longer, thought out pieces on inconsequential matters for this website that by and large is not important to anybody but me, and decided to give myself a break. But I would prefer no apologies at all, because matters related to me wanting a break have led to over-sensitivity on my end.
