When people pointed out his massive amounts of grammar and editing mistakes, he came back with some excuses.

But that's ok, because he doesn't want or need to sell books.

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.

He said he doesn't care if his novels sell, and yet he got bills to pay.

Then he threatened to stop writing unless he was paid.

If you cannot respect that then go get some free books so the writers won't be able to afford to write anymore. That means no new books. Then where will you be?

When others pointed out he sounded bitter, he had more comebacks.
