| "Running" it Into The Ground |
Discovered and confirmed by a great detective who is resident at Absolute Wrong. And here she is. Photo taken at Viable Paradise Workshop. She is passing herself off as a woman named Macallister Stone. She is in fact, Melodi Sherman of Snohomish. She is, in fact, a live human sock puppet.
Why the guise? Other board owners are public knowledge. What is Melodi afraid of? Of course, we know the answer.
THE CHARACTER OF "MACALLISTER STONE" ON DISPLAY
And on a different topic, below is a 2015 slab of back to back tweets by Macallister Stone of Absolute Write in the context of waiting to pounce on a writer posting something she didn't like on Absolute Write Water Cooler. We are not sure of the subject matter. Just judge for yourself. Who behaves in this fashion and cares enough to broadcast it in public? Obviously, she's proud of it. "I am implacable. Also, I am RIGHT."
Could this be a window into the psyche behind a non-writer buying a talk forum website for writers? It really does seem as if she loves to bully those she disagrees with, and as we all know, her wrath has defined the bullying nature of her business and associates who gave rise to this blog and so many other websites and blogs critical of Absolute Write's policy of shoot first and keep shooting.
She's certainly the worst offender though Shelagh Watkins of Publishedauthors.org is another. She has never said who owns her website or who funds it.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised how physically unattractive she is. Could it be she attacks others who are better looking so that she doesn't feel so ugly??? She also has a crappy haircut for a girl. Obviously, she is full of hatred.
ReplyDeleteHer relative unattractiveness is just that, relative. She could be physically attractive to someone, but the bigger point is missed. Her ugliness is related to how she behaves. She believes she has power and she lords it over the poor new writers at Absolute Write, and in a way that is terrible to behold if anything looks like disagreement or defense of something on the Absolute Write shit list, no matter how logical or true. She's just downright cruel and opinionated beyond the reach of reason. And I've known attractive people who are full of hatred. I think we should stay away from this kind of bashing.
ReplyDeleteher physical ugliness is exceptional (a portly woman with double chins and a bulldyke cut that looks as though it were rendered with an axe? come on), so it's pretty much objective. and yeah, if her personality were exceptional on the other end of the spectrum, it could've performed some damage control on her unsightliness, but you've already elaborated on this point.
DeleteShe took down her Facebook page, you guys. No surprise there.
ReplyDeleteNow that we all know, it's funny to go back to her posts and see her pretending to know something about writing or the writer life when she isn't a writer at all, but rather a horse caretaker.
ReplyDeleteShe's got a lot of horse shit, whatever her name is.
DeleteHer Facebook page probably went the way of her LinkedIN page. LinkedIn was contacted with evidence of a person posing under a false name and they yanked her page. I would not be surprised if Facebook did the same.
ReplyDeleteShe's a disgrace. She needs psychotherapy. It's funny how she's always calling others out on their insanity, but it's clear this thing is a certifiably sociopathic weirdo who shouldn't be five miles from a personal computer. For not only our sake, but hers, too.
DeleteComments and observations regarding the "odious and dissipated Stone"
ReplyDeleteFYI
This is good I have ran across this blog. Thanks for sharing. I was just banned from the Absolute Writer Site just because I defended myself. Now she is trying to tarnish me and my manager's name, and turn people away from my book before it is even finished and published. This is good to know too about she also has some fraudulent cases herself.
ReplyDeletebtw guys, an interview with the Big Mac, real sweet, and she talks about her occupation but fails to say a peep about her horse farrier/boarding business in Snohomish.

When I came aboard as a user several years ago absolutewrite was somewhat useful and offered plenty of social content which was enjoyable as well. I met a number of people I still maintain contact with. It was pretty evident the political forum was left leaning, sometimes forcefully so, but hell, that's what politics has become.
ReplyDeleteThe morning after Trump was elected she shut down the political forum after pro-Trumpers expressed their joy.
I wondered, in reply to another comment on a different forum if she would have shut it down if Hillary had been our new president. BOOM! I was banned for at least a month (can't recall how long but I think it was three or six months) with my only notification being a message telling me I should use the time learning when to keep my mouth shut.
About a year later, at the request of one of the users I knew, I logged on again. I was amazed at how many of the people I knew were no longer posting, including some who were forum moderators when I had last been on. The tone of the board had much less personality and MANY fewer posts.
The help and advice I encountered while I was there was fairly good but continued value was somewhat dependent upon a wide variety of input. It was a small group participating when I returned. I hung around in hopes it would grow back. Who knows, it may have by now but I grew tired of waiting.
I don't really care if she was a writer or not or what her name really is. I don't care about her sexual bent or what her picture looks like. I really don't even care what her political beliefs are as long as they don't effect the product. She had a fairly nice and useful thing going until she ruined it in a spiteful reaction after a presidential election. If what I see represented here is accurate, she probably has not learned her lesson.
I any case I would no longer recommend absolutewrite, something I often did in the past.
