No offense, but the truth is that you are not going to get the reaction/outcry you want by trolling here. Simply put, ol' whatsisname is just not that interesting any longer.
We here have bigger fish to fry and more people to help.

Subject - Re: Eddie Bruce: unusual misconceptions.
Dear Mr Bruce,
(snipped for brevity's sake) And again, instead of spouting off in such a fashion with nothing of
substance, please identify what you think we have said or posted that is
not true. We'd be interested to see it! The screen shot you mention
probably says that your book will be available through all bookstores
nationwide, and discusses bookstores' policies on bookstore stocking, right?
Thank You,
PublishAmerica Author Support

I didn't say it was a personal attack, I said those who accuse people here of being bashers would characterize it as such.

“Somehow, I can't help but to think that H.B. Marcus has actually died. Let me explain.
H.B. Marcus is not a real person, rather a pseudonym for a writer. In his own unique way, I can picture this writer as actually turning towards new projects and breaking from his past by, in fact, burying the name of the pseudonym used until a few days ago.
Regardless of the opinion of the writer, the pseudonym of H.B. Marcus I believe has died a much needed death. Whether the writer comes back under a new name or redirects his efforts to another facet of writing will remain to be seen.
Like him or hate him, the creator of H.B. Marcus knows how to create attention.”
He’s here right now among the posters as a spy for PA. Why do you think he hasn’t posted at PA? He’s been posting here for months already. I don’t need to point him out either. You just have to ask yourself what would cause him to shed his name. If you think that idiot could keep quiet for this long, he has not. He’s just been on here gaining your trust. Don’t point him out or name him. You can come up with the same conclusion I have as to who he is. Just don’t share anything with him he can take back to PA.

DaveKuzminski said:I just came across a posting on another board congratulating P&E for making the Writer's Digest 101 Best Websites list. I know that Absolute Write was also on that list because I found that mentioned somewhere earlier today. All in all, this is bad news...
for PA, that is. It means that many new writers who read Writer's Digest will find our sites and learn the truth about PA without being victimized.
Yay us!

Just to clarify -- I'm not bashing -- I'm picklin'!
Sheesh! Why's everyone looking at me?
You probably spent months-to-years writing your book. Now's the time to spend weeks-to-months learning the business side.
Here's the straight out truth: If you've written a book that a lot of peoiple want to read, you can get published by a legitimate press. If you haven't, no self-publishing or vanity-publishing scheme in the world will help you.
He's irrelevant, and speculating on him is like speculating on why the Red Sox won the World Series last year - it's old news.
It is I, The Pickler, Literary Defender of Truth, Justice, and all that is Good and Right in the literary world! As I fly high above the skies here in my personal Pickle Plane, I spot the following on the PA boards regarding the length of their contracts:Diana Hignutt said:PublishAmerica is an evil company, led by amoral people. They lie regularly, breach their own contract without a second thought, cheat authors, disregard rights reversals and copyright law, have no real publishing experience, and they're meanies as well. Boy, they just stink. I like to think of them as literary super villains.
If only the Pickler would save us!
Life term? I've never had a publisher I ever signed with ask for a life term, typically about three years has been the norm for me. Uncle Jim, Victoria, Jenna, what typically do y'all see out there re length of contracts?Our contracts expire after seven years, unlike the life term that most other traditional publishers require.
Diana Hignutt said:But Ann, dear. If we don't occasionally spell out PA, this thread won't be as prominant in search engines when people enter "PublishAmerica." If we avoid writing it out, then when people do a search for "P......A......" they will find the company's lies and not our truths. We don't want that, do we?
Of course, I'm a recently reformed computer Luddite, so maybe, I'm wrong about that.
