It still wouldn't surprise me if some of the guestbook slamming isn't generated in good ol' Fredrick.

I also don't believe it was someone from AW, especially after the recent expulsion of two members for the very same thing. It's probably just some idiot trying to stir up trouble for everybody. Maybe so they can read about their antics on the PAMB and/or here? Could I have (possibly) done exactly what he wanted by posting this here? Have I allowed myself to be used by this person? Did I ask too many questions for one paragraph?

This reminds me so much of old Mr. Book that it isn't funny. Especially the 'You were warned' junk in the last line. That creeps me out. I hope they find out who's doing this....and why do I also get the feeling, as some have pointed out, that this is emanating from Frederick, Maryland? |

I'll make that offer to any PA author with a guestbook slammer, though. My email addy is available under my profile, here. Feel free to email me a link to the post and the IP number on guestbook slams.

I'd like to elaborate on Mac's offer. Anyone who's had a guestbook slammed/slimed could send the IP to Jim or any of our supermods and we'll see if we can find a match (or other pertinent data).

Anyone who posts here and who slimes a guestbook ... won't be posting here any more.

Btw, Sue Tassistant first appears on page 144 and Astrow Naught appears for the first time on page 161. This information is for anyone who wishes to write a review but doesn't want to read the book.

Btw, Simon Cowell told Will Young that his performance was very average: Quote:

Eccentric Is My Middle Name [img]images/avatars/loislane.jpg[/img] Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Virginia Posts: 190 Shelagh what does that have to do with PA or anything on this side of the forum? American Idol is a show, it is fake....please stick to the subject of PA and the frauds they perpetrate among the writing community. PA is like Simon since he gives all a "tone". I know of one PA writer who is happy just to be published, she said she has no ills toward them at all being that she didn't look around for a publisher, she just wanted her book published "as is" and feels happy with them. She said she hopes the royalties are enough to pay her electric bill next month only. I guess its a good outlook and she said her next book will probably been sent to someone else. I find her attitude refreshing, I'm sure she will do fine bc she has not been sweating the small stuff. She did not pay for publicity, she only had a book signing and a few orders printed out for other people, the rest in her opinion, is too much and should not be bothered with.

I mean she flys in here every blue moon, tries to promote her novel and pisses everybody off with her rhetoric and then disappears again. Is she getting some twisted mental orgasm from this ?? Just curious.

Seriously, I am quite sure she is getting a good laugh from reading the upstream posts. Ignore. You're wasting your time. She knows what P.A. is, believe it.
