Dr. Drib, Thank you for your input.
This is to you not about you: There is an old saying "If you do not have something nice to say then don't say anything"... Well the posters who visited my editing rant thread chose to say things that were not nice. I DO NOT NEED OR WANT THEIR MONEY. It is ultimately they who lose here. I don't need to sell five books to these folks. I am not desperate for sales. I do however feel the need to defend myself against the clowns who think they are better than someone else because they have been posted here longer. I'd bet if they were actual book buyers instead of hecklers they might have a few less posts here and spend more time reading.
There are 300 billion people out there (More I suppose) I can afford to lose the sales of 3 or 4 people who came to this thread to post negative comments and point out my flaws.
I mean that's exactly why people come here is to have a bunch of dorks point out their flaws. You might have more visitors if the 'in crowd' here wasn't so pathetically smug.
As a whole it has been fairly cool here, but some people think that they are something they are not. I know I am a bad typist and a poor editor. It's OBVIOUS. To have people come around the forum to point that out is.... Well it's sad. Because my novels all have four and five star reviews and are all professionally edited. But my posts get heckled all the same.
Unlike most authors I am not here to sell books. If that isn't obvious then I don't know what is. That simple fact alone, the fact that I am not here just to sell books, should garner some respect. I mean from what I've heard, the people here don't like authors who just come to sell books. Well they don't seem to like the ones that are not here for that either.....
