Variol, I wholeheartedly respect your right to read what you want.
But, when it comes to what is necessary for GRR Martin, every use of the F word makes it a better book than those around it. Every graphic rape, every suffering death, every trencher or meat that spills across the threshes, every severed limb, every last gurgle of death, every "brave man" who pisses himself, every toothless dirty little whore, every disfigured and maimed and dirty and rotten and smelly thing, every bit of bodily excrement running down the legs of a royal man shot with a common crossbow.
These are the things that make me *believe* the world of GRR Martin. Make me love it. Make it ring truer than any other fantasy out there.
There is nothing I hate more than fantasy that caters to the lovers of Wordsworth and his fluffy forest bunnies. If you set something in medieval times, there will be filth, disease, putridness, and the animalism in men will be more obvious. These are the realities of living in a world of that technology level.
Sounds like you need to quit reading Martin. Just my [img]graemlins/2cents.gif[/img]
