When Teddypig linked to your blog was when I found out that someone had taken note of my letter to Ann. I spoke up, as I said, because I had no personal grievances with Ann Somerville, nor any history - except if one counts having read the increasingly hostile diatribes toward an increasing number of romance authors, particularly those in the M/M subgenre. Someone had to say something. All I got for my trouble was an accusation back that I am an alias of one of her many enemies. I only wish that she had taken some of the criticism to heart, which I very much doubt. Oh my. When Teddypig linked to your blog was when I found out that someone had taken note of my letter to Ann.

(Showing her ignorance there considering my mother was born of a bi-racial marriage and sorry, but growing up I wasn't taught to see people in colors.) I feel she must look at people as either right or wrong, and there's no room for <em>disagreement to</em> or <em>questioning of</em> her opinions.

I bet her poor editor had a ball dealing with that. All I can figure is if you disagree with her even slightly she considers that an attack. I bet her poor editor had a ball dealing with that.

I started hearing that creepy screeching violin music from psycho when she accused me of "suddenly launched a vicious, sexist and homophobic attack on me". Now hold on, who is the gay guy here? HOW DOES THAT WORK? I read everything and have it all saved.

And I mean track because of some paranoid or vindictive streak. I suppose I'd do such things if I were threatened or had a stalker on my ass, but to do them "just because" is incomprehensible...to the point of downright creepy.

Also pointed out that KS,Mrs G, DA, are NOT authors, they don't have the same level of scrutiny... Maybe unfair, but true... she threatened to "ban" me, which I thought was funny as hell since she was bleating about being "banned" from DA... heheh... hoisted by her own petard... She thinks I am a troll... pulease... shit stirrer maybe, but NEVER a troll... I remember getting chewed on her once on DA for saying that I didn't think what TAbke with the street teams did was worthy of being drawn and quartered.. She is amazingly abrasive and yet overly sensitive all at the same time... which is not a good combination... Me... I could give a shite what people say about me.. or if people don't agree... hell, its more fun when they don't...

That has to be a pretty short discussion then, since 90% of her problem is her intolerance for anyone with an opinion that fails to coincide with her world view... Not a bad idea though. Imma surround myself with yes men too *g* LOLZ Kirsten.
