Wanker alert…

Correct. Good advice. Way too much emotion going on. Yes, be angry but fight smart.

Barbara, I, for one, accept your apology.

However (and damn, don’t caveats suck) your flyby perusal of the situation didn’t help matters either. This is an important situation, through no fault of your own.

Again, emotions are high. Your flyby listed me as the person you were going to speak with Jill about. In reality, it’s not that very different from some NP authors who are Verra disgruntled parsing each word spoken about the subject by commenters like myself (yeah, I’m looking at you, Erastes. Still waiting to see if you will at least accept my apology, that is, before I changed my mind a tad.)

People are misquoting and throwing venom at individuals who have no horse in this race. That’s how far the evil has leaked.

My advice, breathe, just breathe. You didn’t cause this hornets nest.

Clearly you need to consult a dictionary. By making the contents of a private discussion loop (where authors are justifiably angry, I might add) public, you YOURSELF are engaging in harassment and the unauthorized transmission of privileged communications.
Yes, I said what I said. No, I’m making no apologies for it. Like every other author at Noble, Jill’s sudden departure created immense problems for me, and I’m angry about it. I also take great exception to being referred to as “trash.” Just to put the remark about “game fucking on” in context, that and every other remark of mine posted in Anom’s comment came from an email I wrote immediately after reading the FB post in question.
I’ve calmed down some now, because I’ve already done everything I need to do and there’s nothing to be gained by anything but watching and waiting at this point. But rest assured I will keep my readers (also Noble’s…ponder that) informed as to what’s going on and I am aggressively pursuing the reversion of my rights. You don’t have to like it, but I’m cautioning you: everyone knows what stepped-on toes are often connected to.
I don’t say anything in private I’m not perfectly willing to back up in public. I didn’t start this dance, but if you’d care to have another go, be my guest.

Anyway, I’d like to repeat that the random sharing of emails turning an already confusing and disappointing situation into a “this one said / that one said” schoolyard argument helps no one.

Thank you, my dear. You have an excellent way of cutting through the bullshit and getting to the chase.
