Preston and company are self-important twits and more than a bit mean spirited.
Try this:

You have a millionaire with a "writer's shack" retreat in Maine, all 300 acres of it, complaining that Amazon promoting indie titles instead of his is effectively a crime against humanity, $100,000 on meaningless newspaper ads, when he cut out that money into literacy programs, supporting libraries or whatever cause his in-crowd favors.
Instead, he (and his gang of fools) rails against a channel that is letting thousands of authors make mortgage money, car payments, put their kids through school money. No amount of mockery is enough reward for that crew.
The Guild complains about all the authors getting shafted by the BPHs... and then turns around and supports this mean-spirited crusade against the only viable alternative to poverty many authors have?
He went easy on them. |
It's not a matter of justification. It's attacking the arguments made, not the person making the arguments. Konrath goes for the cheap shot too often, despite not having to. He can destroy each and every point they make without trying, with ample evidence.
I'd happily post around a link to a proper, respectful destruction of each of AG or AU's points, but if I gave Konrath's AU blog post link to friends of mine they'd wonder what this guy is getting so worked up about.
