I put this in "Fun and Games" for lack of a better place...what does everyone think of S.M. Stirling? I read the Draka series, the Peshawar Lancers, Conquistador, and the short story where Robert E. Lee leads the Virginia cavalry in the Crimean War. I skipped all of his other stuff, the Burroughs pastiche and the Change / Nantucket series.

What I did read I thought was fun, even if a bit outlandish even by AH standards.

However, recently I found out he was and is active on a bunch of internet forums where he espoused some....unsavory....views of various ethnicities and religions and got into serious personal arguments with members, leading to a ban on a certain forum.

Although I try to separate the work from the creator as much as possible when it comes to questionable works, I cannot help but have this bitter taste when I try to re-read some of his works.

What do you guys think?
