As the late Patrick Swayze said in "Road House", "Be nice. Be nice until it's time to not be nice." They just blow off the really rude letters and emails.

It's an insulated business, we already know this. A business that has, in no uncertain terms, made a stand with the latest move. That stand was to say "Go Away. We don't want your custom." Fine. They, and the cowardly writers who acquiesce to the whole rotting system can go hang. I can read great free literature both new and old for the rest of my life and I don't have to pay one single cent (I will pay if the writer is independent). My reader is crammed full of great mysteries and pulp from Munsey's, classics from Feedbooks, Manybooks and Gutenberg, and new writers that are infinitely more interesting than what is currently being published by the big boys.
The only thing they care about are bottom lines. We're below bottom. Our letters might as well be stamped with 'immediate shredding."
I wouldn't waste the bandwidth on these dinosaurs.
