I agree. I think that is the importance of chastising any author who behaves like this, in as public of a method as possible. Let them know, the status quo will hurt them, but more important, show other others that to follow those footsteps is not a way to keep fans.
For those that disagree with this type of public calling out of authors, it is the only way we as fans and consumers have to be heard, not just by the author in question, but by authors and their guilds as a whole.
