I've been to busy/exhausted/distracted for posting in some while, but this passed my desktop today and I need to share it:
http://nihilistic-kid.livejournal.com/1249222.html I've had a similar experience with an author who didn't believe there would be consequences to his behavior.
He'd spammed a list I was on pimping his vanity-press novel. He then sent people insulting and sexually abusive email posing as me. He didn't stop until I threatened legal action. He was a coward. I've kept his e-mails in a file in print. My tormentor was Jeff Redmond.
These poison pill people think they can write abuse without it influencing how others think of them is remarkably naive. Its not like they are DMV employees beyond the touch of mortal folks. Maybe they hold with the idea; "Any publicity is good publicity." I'll never pay to read anything by these two writers, ever. Good luck to them.
