Bare Feet -- Srs Bsnss
Over on Customers Suck, a poster complains about a shoeless customer coming into the restaurant where they work. In the comments ladygzb doesn't understand what the problem is.

After all, not that long ago, people of no means went barefoot as a matter of course, so why shouldn't she have the right to enter a public place with no shoes. Social conventions are meaningless. Going barefoot flaunts convention the way gay and interracial marriage does!

If your feet have a fungus it's the fault of your shoes! I went barefoot all through college and never caught anything like a fungal infection! In short, shoes are just disgusting and they make my feet hurt anyway.

And people keep on arguing with her.

Wow, you needed to read his autobiography before being put off? It only took one of his crappy fantasy books to do that for me.

Well, I read it early on, when I was still deriving enjoyment from the Incarnations of Immortality series - before I got to Nature and the whole first part was a really bad songfic (sans credit, natch) of "The Bonny Boy Is Young But He's Growing."

The "Time" book in the Immortality series was the only one I got through. I was working in a scifi bookstore at the time, and the shelves were crowded with too many good books, so I didn't bother going back.

I think only the first three Xanth are any good. It was all over for me with Xanth once I discovered Discworld. Writing female characters (and ALL characters, actually) well and not just stringing puns together? Yesplz.

I've always been rather dismayed at the prevalence of puns in sci-fi/fantasy. It's a cheap, lazy form of humor.

Also, YES on the female characters.
