Every nice, decent, lovely person I know will email (if they haven't already) to say, "it wasn't me, was it?" Every time I comment on behaviour that pisses me off, that happens.<BR/><BR/>And usually, it's a composite of behaviour by several people so no one person should actually think it's them. I don't do this to pick fights - I do it to get it off my chest.<BR/><BR/>But in this case, it really is one specific person.<BR/><BR/>You know, I don't want to lose my good reviewers. If we lose reviewers, we can do less for authors. So I have to protect them.<BR/><BR/>Now, why can't someone capable of writing a book muster the intelligence to see that they're hurting their career? Because they already weren't in my good books...Sandra Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109584805469336742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1160517472194325542006-10-10T17:57:00.000-04:002006-10-10T17:57:00.000-04:00Yuck.
