I'm against Agency and price fixing.
I'm against predatory contracts abusing and demoralizing authors.
I'm not against tradpub per-se, but the Manhattan mafia makes it hard to be anything but against them.
Don't like my positions?
Challenge them or ignore them, I don't care either way.
But don't think you know me or anything about me or pretend to project your perceptions on me.
Carry on.

I'm pro-Amazon in cases where our interests coincide. In this case, Amazon wants to retain the ability to discount. I agree with that. I don't even insist on cheap pricing. As long as pricing is a result of unfettered free market forces, that's fine. I can choose to buy or wait. If I had to label my position, it's anti-cartel.
