ReplyDeleteKilling the dog can be a bit serious, but we get the picture, and agree. Treating people like feces is what gives them meaning. Have you seen how they live? Go to the post on law enforcement and investigation. We have pics of their neighborhood gathered from their old domain address.
DeleteThey can't lock you up but they can smear your reputation into a high ranking position on google for future employers and landlords and relationships to see. That's the problem, and their power.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically it seems like they'll even spread false things about you to misdirect their own shortcomings.
DeleteI first joined when I had the impression the old owners were running the place, then later found out it was others. Then left for a short time when people were just being downright mean spirited for no reason.
Of course authors on micro-bloggers will just eat up rumors spread about you without fact checking. My writing career is destroyed because of this unchecked lying about me and have given up publishing.
I write for myself now.
Frauds and unprincipled jerks sitting in judgement of others. What a perfect place for them to gather and be absolutely right.
ReplyDeleteBlatant racism is allowed at AW:
ReplyDelete"Canadian Clinic: No Non-Whitey Sperm for Whitey"
This is the title of a current thread that's a veritable hatefest against white people. It's full of offensive language and racial slurs such as 'Whitey' and 'WASP.' Some participants on this thread have identified themselves as non-white or mixed race. The voice of reason from one lone member was quickly silenced amid shouts of 'troll.' The mod, of course, attacked the 'troll,' and not the name callers. Every time I think AW has got as bad as it gets they surprise me by being even worse. This is one such incident.

We have filed a complaint with their server, and urge others who find this material offensive to do likewise.

This does sound like an extreme new tangent, even for them, but the whole place is like a petri dish of hybrid bacteria ready to germinate new disease, so anything is possible. When you're filled with hate for yourself and others, you can justify anything and deny responsibility all day.

ReplyDeleteA sister blog of resistance. May God grant you the wisdom and strength to see this through to the end.
DeleteThere'll be blue birds over, the white cliffs of Dover, tomorrow, just you wait and see.
Ignore these idiots! Most of them are quite physically unattractive, and they are extremely jealous of the people they attack. Save yourself a lot of time and grief and don't pay them any mind at all. No one cares about them. None of them went to Kuzminski's funeral or even mentioned his death, and he was one of them.
ReplyDeleteWe will ignore them after they are no longer a threat to bring real harm to people's lives.
ReplyDeletePretend to be crusaders for writers as well as a great source of information, then create as much conflict as possible to market yourself on Google and sit back and reap the click-though payments from all your advertisements.
DeleteSimple.
Oh, and don't ever admit a shred of responsibility. You are always absolutely right.
FBI's Least Wanted.
ReplyDeleteWow! When you see their pictures, it's no wonder they go on attack so quickly. More importantly, what success, exactly, has Jimbo had that makes him qualified to advise others.
ReplyDeleteHe and his wife, Old Hack, have published lots of books. Most of them are poor, others mediocre. Now they self-publish. Unless a writer is looking to be a bottom-lister at a publishing house, we would not advise taking advice from congenial Jimbo and the ancient, vicious Hack, voted #1 cyberbully at WAR..
DeleteAnybody else notice that Uncle Jim hasn't posted on AW since January. I wonder why that is?
ReplyDeleteHateful, hateful scary people.
ReplyDeleteKane looks like a smug ferret.
DeleteJenna Glatzer wrote a "bullying " book with Dr. Joel Haber. That is a real hoot!!! An expert bully on Bullying. Way to go ADAMS Media! who are the editors of that masterpiece???High school dropouts??? Pot smokers??? Losers??? or all of the above..
ReplyDeleteThe literary agent Janet Reid (alias Miss Snark) has posted on her blog that she knows nothing of bullying at Absolute Write. That couldn't be a bigger lie. The culprits above are all friends of hers and she's been on that website for over seven years.
ReplyDeletePlease write me, lesleycameron55 @ gmail.com , I have news I want to share with the owners of WAR about the censorship going on at the Janet Reid blog.
DeleteI've personally been smeared on the board, almost from the get go being tossed with various insults against me without even so much as proving their claims. Keep in mind this is also on a brainstorming post, and not an advertisement of any sort to promote anything.
ReplyDeleteThey have an insult bullying culture.
I just want to know how to dissociate my name with the site. Isn't it illegal not to allow someone to disenroll?
ReplyDeleteHI.
ReplyDeletePlease see full post of mine at - michaeljimdonagh - "Why I left AW" - michael used to post as - MOOKIE.
I was banned at AW for "spamming" - trying to recommend another web-site for writers to understand - DRAMATICA PRO.
I used to have great respect for Victoria Strauss.
I have discovered a great FAKE post on her - HATERS GONNA HATE post.
CHRIS JOHNSON - claims to be a supermoderator. He says that banning is the absolute last resort, and they take days to think deeply about doing so. He says the owners are the nicest people in the world. Finally, he says he is easy to contact.
I clicked on his name-link - and got a DOCTOR CHRIS JOHNSON in MINNESOTA - the WRONG Chris Johnson.
I wonder if Victoria has even written - HATERS GONNA HATE, at all !
PLEASE AVOID AW.
