None of that is untrue, but does that matter? It's a community. You either belong to the community or you don't. And those who don't have an automatic tendency to dismiss it for the solitary reason that if they're not a part of it, it must not be any good.

I know, first I've heard of it too. I mean, people don't like me, but...Akuma said:People don't like us???
Geez, that's my seductive look. I just can't seem to get away from being labeled "intimidating". What’s a gal gotta do?Rllgthunder said:Well, if you'd stop glaring at us like that we wouldn't be so frightened of you.

They say the authors here are jealous of their future success and publishing careers (even if they are being scammed and AW has outted the pub. outfit that they are referring to).
