Looks like I'm going to have to find some other Internet store to buy my books at now. Bastards.

SO. MUCH. FAIL. hannahsarah November 11 2010, 02:51:17 UTC

I just bought some books online the other day. Now I am SO glad that I decided to bypass Amazon and go straight through the publisher. That's another $60 that the pedo lovers won't be getting.

Yep. On the other hand, there's nothing to keep any of us from going back to that page and leave our opinions of that book and of amazon.com for publishing and seeling it there. XD

ETA, I just added my "review" to the list. I hope it helps get the message across.

When I feel a little better -- I'm still not over my cold, or whatever it is -- I'll do one myself. Oh, and I need to sharpen my claws first.

Heard on KOMO radio last night on my way home from work that it had been pulled.

Yes.

I wouldn't mind it being shelved among their books on psychology, anthropology, or sociology, that sort of thing, but it was just too much as a freebie for Kindle. Of course, I'm not objective about this -- I was sexually abused as a child, over and over, and nobody cared . . . or else they blamed me for it. I hate child molesters with all my heart, so there's no way I could be objective about it.

I understand.

I know. But apparently some people on LJ don't. Too bad. They really ought to figure in responses of people like me to this sort of thing before they start ranting about the First Amendment. And there's that old principle about shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater not being politically protected speech.
