No doubt some of the contemporaries of Charles Dickens felt the same way about how well he was doing compared to their own books. And I wager some probably were jealous of Issac Asimov's diversity of writing as well. What makes this different though is that they didn't throw a pity party in front of millions like this author seems to be from the quoted passages. It sounds like the 'Oh woe is me (author's name) is writing more or better than I can at the moment and denying me my dues,' sort of rant. A lot of books (from what I understand) were written because someone read another author's book and thought "I can do better than that." But instead of doing that this author threw a pity party. I wager it does more harm than good to their own career as an author. People can have a long memory about other people who act out like this. Especially when it's on the net where anything that goes up can never really be taken down. The original poster may delete it but you can bet it will be archived somewhere by someone.
