The Writing Propaganda Machine

This is a business that's so brutal and competitive than cults evolve to create their own worlds outside of mainstream writing. I'm about to give up on writing commentary about publishing and concentrate on getting decently published. To hell with all of the PA, POD vanity press discussion: They're all worthless so why even talk with people so duped thery can't tell the difference? I'm done with it. The warnings are out and anyone who does it now deserves what they get. I've been pounded by vanity trolls and hell, even legitimate writers and reviewers like Paul Guyot (screen--TV) and David Montgomery ( freelance crime reviewer). Like fanfiction writers, whoare nothing more than ignorant plagiarists, vanity press authors are a cult.

The fact of the matter is they're also irrelevant. I'm out of it and on to the real business of journalism and science. It's just a negative drain for people who don't deserve any effort expended on their behalf. For those who insulted me, "Screw you and the goats you rode in on." This Bud's for me. Cheers.

Update: Whenever I leave a site after a long heated battle with vanity shills, trolls, regulars intent on personal insults over my views on publishing, it's standard proceddure to check to see what folks are saying. This thread at Lee Goldberg's takes the cake. I respect Lee but Christ even his friends are insulting trolls. It's like grade school all over again. No thanks.
