I'm dismayed that a group of people can expend that much energy on sustaining that much anger. How woefully pathetic.
I think that what we're seeing is the scammers reacting to the electronic self-publishing success stories. E-publishing isn't going to affect the legitimate publishers (electronic publishing is just one more area they can move into), but it has to be devastating to the vanity presses.
I can see the folks who would otherwise be their victims say, "Pay you $4,000? Amanda Hocking! Joe Konrath!" and march on over to Kindle and Smashwords.
The scammers are lashing out in every direction in their death throes.
It won't do them any good.
