Note, as I read that one over more, that's his "Why I'm not a fantasy author" interview more than one of his "You are all idiots" interviews, but I think it shows off the kind of person he is.
Maybe I come down too hard on him. He has, by all accounts, written some pretty good books--and if people like them, I have no business going around trying to ruin the experience for them. Plus, I don't refuse to listen to music because the band members act like jerks. Yet, for some reason I expect more of a writer.
Goodkind should be one of fantasy's greatest advocates--he could write his books, then say "Look, this is fantasy, and it's not crap. So, why be so down on fantasy?" Instead, he spearheads the "Fantasy is Crap" army, all the while claiming he's not part of the genre. Add on top of that the way he responds to that fan who asks about Goodkind's later books not being as good as his first ones, and you've got a pretty good perspective on why the guy rubs me the wrong way.
