Cults and other inaccuracies
So far, you haven't proved me wrong. You do misquote others, including me. For instance, I have never called PublishAmerica a cult though you put that statement into your response directed at me in a feeble attempt to tag me as the originator.
Since you want to bring religion into the fray, let's ask how moral you are. Have you helped your fellow humans? Do you avoid telling lies that would harm others? Do you offer assistance to those in need? OR DO YOU MERELY WALK AROUND LIKE A BIGOT TELLING OTHERS THEY'RE GOING TO HELL?
Case in point? You stated it yourself: "Nor would I suggest that people like Dave and Victoria and Ann quit giving out warnings just because folks are still getting tricked into believing PA or poetry.com hype and double talk."
See, this is the problem right here. I'm having conversation (a) while you're stuck in conversation (b).
That's your evidence? No, Dodgem James, you're the one ignoring the tricks and double talk instead of doing the morally right thing for those who are innocent. Don't tell me you're afraid of having your book derailed by your publisher. You have plenty of opportunities to spread the truth. All you have to do is sign on under an alias. Oh! Excuse me, you already do. Problem is, you don't spread the truth. You only talk about how smart you were in negotiating with your publisher in obtaining concessions that the other authors didn't. Uh, what were those concessions again? Wasn't one supposed to be concerning price?
No, the truth is that you're a bigot and a hypocrite who resorts to religion when his logic reveals weakness in his side of a discussion. You can't even stay on topic when you argue.
Case in point: Dodgem James stated: I have always believed that people should know exactly what PA is before signing their contract, and I just can't agree with you that warning people of sex scenes in PA books is really a mark against the company.
First of all, you should restrict the subject of a sentence to one topic. You're supposed to be a writer and understand that. Furthermore, having made that poor sentence, what you fail to point out is that those first comments were made by individuals representing the publisher. So far, no one has located any books written by that poster and published by that publisher. You also conveniently ignore the posted proof that the publisher deliberately targeted Dave Bowlin and myself thereby admitting to having posted those words. Of course, that I pointed out in a posting that they were equally vulnerable makes me the heavy. No, Dodgem James, it doesn't. What I pointed out in a speculative moment was that I ought to do that. My statement effectively pointed out to them that some things they might do to me can be turned against them. That, in turn, caused them to cease some of those smear tactics. Why? Because they know I won't back down.
Anyway, I'm really getting tired of pointing out how lame your arguments are. I recommend you ask Mr. Meiners to send in another clown. You're no longer entertaining.
