What part of "we're all done discussing whether or not Spentastico did even the teensiest bit of research into this publisher before blasting off an inappropriate query from his day-job -- THEN rushing over to AW to try and trash said publisher's reputation because he didn't like the tone of the response he got to said inappropriate query--a response that was utterly avoidable if he'd done even minimal research" did you guys miss?
Put it down. It's over.
By the way, kellion92, come over here and say that to my face. My problem with spentastico has nothing to do with who the publisher was. There's no "benefit of the doubt" to be given, here -- and people have said repeatedly that, indeed, Lynn was snippier than necessary. So what?
The thing is, this isn't a legitimate complaint about a publisher. It's a butthurt newbie author who didn't research the publisher, didn't double-check his own facts, then made a stupid newb mistake. That's not a big deal, all by itself. It happens all the time.
But when he came rushing over here to smear crap on a publisher's reputation because HE made a stupid newb mistake? That's what I object to. That's just plain churlish and spiteful, and that's NOT what this forum is about, nor an appropriate use of this space.
Now, if Behler isn't paying authors, or is abusing writers under contract and their agents, or isn't sending royalty statements in a timely fashion, and someone with a Behler contract has tried to work it out with them, but failed, and wants to post here and address that situation?
They can and should --because THAT'S what this space is for.
