Ruling is hard.

>Gurm, ah, George, hm, ah pardon me, GRRM - (should I perhaps be flattered?), you must understand, dear boy, that I am in fact wholly preoccupied with my own work
*lights pipe*
>And I simply haven't the time to contend with your 'quibbles', as you put them
*chuckles affably*
>Despite having passed on, oh, some 40 years ago to sit at the right hand of Eru Iluvatar, I have not, as they say, rested on my laurels, indeed!
*blows smoke rings*
>Why, just this past year another one of my works on the Nature of Middle-Earth was published, and, I must confess wholeheartedly, much of that coupled together from notes I had hastily scrawled on napkins or indeed any bare scrap of paper I could find in an idle hour! I am sure you can relate, yes?
*laughs uproariously*
>Simple stuff, really, the measurement of Elvish life-spans in comparison to our own brief lives, mating cycles, the cosmology and movements of celestial bodies, physical characteristics of the Fellowship, Elvish economy (a subject I understand you have some particular interest in, yes?)
*winks*
>As it stands, and to my great regret, any forthcoming discussions between the two of us on the subject of this-or-that will simply have to wait. Before you go, however, how is your own work going? I understand you're making some steady progress?
*blows more smoke rings*
>Mr. Martin?

Martin likes to fuss over the details of world building, which is fine if the point of your narrative is to admire all the world building. If that isn't the point, than anything that doesn't add to the story is distracting from it.

He's not saying it's bad, he's saying his own work is different.

George’s story that he is unable to finish leads to the Boltons winning. TOTAL BOLTON VICTORY. If he had written LOTR the orcs would have raped middle earth to death. GOOD JOB GEORGE BRAVO.
