Let's vote on it.
Please only one post per vote and add a link to a specific example of the cyber-bullying behavior on the Absolute Write forum. We must have concrete proof because we do not condone falsity in any form.
Also, if you know the real name of the bully, please state it and the evidence you've gathered to expose the culprit.
Results will be published after we receive sufficient vote posts.
A problem with this is I was bullied rather severely in PM by Lisa L. Spangenberg after being flamed and insulted by Old Hack. However these incidents were very personal and would expose my name so I don't want to post the proof. And I deleted the PM because it was horrible.
ReplyDeleteI'm freaking out now because I don't know if my comment was sent to you as anyonymous or accidently sent with another name. I guess you won't publish it anyway because I didn't provide an example but if my name came up please don't publish it. I don't want any more online trouble with these people. But I was bullied by them. So I guess this is probably just a private message between me and the admins here.Please do not publish the name of the person who made the comment about Old Hack and that Lisa Spangenberg Medievalist person

ReplyDeleteThere are numerous people on those boards who have "perma flounced" "learning to read more and post less" and "banned" under the names and avatars of their books a permanent humiliation to these authors and no amount of begging or pleading will get the mods to remove the profile or subnic put on them by Lisa Spangenberg or Old Hack . http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/absolute-write-got-banned-for-saying-i039m-a-hostagewhich-i-am-c684272.html
ReplyDeletehttp://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8725721#post8725721 You might want to note OLd Hacks endless rants against Hugh Howey who is banned from posting at Absolute so can't defend himself. She claims her name is Jane Smith and that she is a ghost writer and agent.
ReplyDeleteAnon, let me tell you something. Neither this Lisa Spamberger or especially Old Hack are either AGENTS or GHOST WRITERS. In fact, I doubt either one of them has a job because how can they find so much time to "moderate" on that site if they both had steady jobs? If Old Jack says they're an AGENT, they aren't a good one. I wouldn't want 'em. They spend day & night moderating a free site? Shouldn't they be looking for publishers for all their writing "clients"? Ha! What a joke! You drank the kool-aid by the gallon this time.

ReplyDeleteOld Hack
Omg, I came here because I wanted to call out Old Hack as terrible bully on AbsoluteWrite. I mean that person is awful & throws their weight around bullying members. They also are very NEGATIVE, always telling other people what they CANNOT achieve when Old Hack is no position to do so. The Absolute Forums are the only place where Hack has been successful. I was shocked to see that so many other people got the same impression from that old fart. And Hack also lied when he/she said author Hugh Howdy sends private messages now & then. Total lie. Why would somebody as positive & successful as Hugh Howey want to be bothered with someone like Old Hack??
ReplyDeleteWhat's funny is that Old Hack will most likely write us off (so to speak) as "former members of Absolute Write who've been banned or suspended & are bitter". Not true. I personally have never been banned from that site, not have I had run-ins with Hack, but I've witness the way he/ she talks to others & that was enough for me to keep a distance.
ReplyDeleteYou know people have seen this site we're writing on & have mentioned to Hack that she or he has a lot of people who hate him/her. And you know Hack tells them we're angry from being suspended. What a crock. No suspension here. Also, I think that Old Fart hates Hugh Howey & is so jelly, or making his/ her own jelly with sour grapes. Fart runs around telling everybody Hugh hates women because he let a hater (it was probably Old Hack) get to him & blogged about that angrily.
Old Hack is now claiming to have gained representation from Curtis Brown LTD. I am inclined to not believe her.
