“Did you hear, that bitch had a dick!”
JaynieR’s doing a weekly Wednesday Whisper. This is basically where she dishes some dirt, on the comings and goings of various Romanceland personnel.
Check out the link to Jaid Black’s blog. Can’t think who inspired that little rant, can you? *g*
Anyway, enough about me, I wonder who she’s talking about here?
It’s sooooo easy to be anonymous online. The inherent problem with that fact is that anonymity and lies tend to go hand in hand. Over the past year there has been a notable increase in reader blogs… some of them legit, some of them questionable. (And 2 of them, ironically, conceived at the same time that a rival company to EC started up.)
And here?
The typical reader never sees this side of her, doesn’t know that she’s a raging alcoholic and pain pill addict married to a man who sexually molested her own daughter. (She chose the HUSBAND over her own daughter if you can believe it so I automatically despise her slimy ass.) But I digress…
My point amongst all my bitterness *g* is this: take everything gossipy you hear and read with a heaping mound of salt. (And then add several more mounds.) Cuz you really never know if the person at the center of a slander campaign is the alcoholic, pain pill addict with the pedophile for a husband.
Chances are it is, at least if the gossip is about Moi. (The bitch really hates me, what can I say? *shrug*) Other authors have their own Psychotic-Writer-Direly-In-Need-Of-Thorazine to contend with.
I wonder if this person really exists, or if she’s just making a point? I’m betting the former, even with that huge pinch of salt. *g*

It was quite a little ranty-mcrant wasn’t it?
I want to know who she means in the reader blogs because someone told me yesterday the exact same thing about one of our more popular colleagues in blogworld.
…and if that author is real – I WANT TO KNOW WHO SHE IS DAMNIT.

Who started at the same time as an EC rival? You’ve been around since 2005. I started in April of ’06. Perhaps she got her dates wrong? Or maybe she’s talking about other bloggers? Srsly, funny rant.

Wow! That piece about the anonymous author at Jaid Black’s site was pretty vile. If true it reveals some unsavory things about that author, but the messenger doesn’t escape unscathed, either.

I hate internet police at work. Jaid Black’s blog is blocked. *sigh*
So it’s Jaid Black that supported her husband when he molested her daughter or am I confused?

I felt sick when I read Ms. Black’s offensive, hypocritical rant and will never be induced to visit her blog again for fear I will need another new keyboard.

I’ll identify myself right up front as VP of Media Relations for Ellora’s Cave before I add to this discussion. That means I work for Jaid Black. I did want to set the record straight on a couple of things: First, Jaid’s husband did not ever ever ever molest her daughter. She’s very protective of her children and would never allow anyone to hurt them. As a mother, she does get very upset when she sees people mistreating or failing to protect children. Second, Jaid’s comments about an unnamed person were on her personal blog, where she expresses her personal opinions and occasionally rants about things that bug her. However, even though she may be really hurt or angry about someone else’s behavior, she would never damage that person by revealing her identity publicly.
Thanks for letting me have my say.

hmmm Jane I wonder if she is looking at dates of current blog creations.
Karen moved her blog. So did the new one open at the same time samhain did? I moved mine to wordpress but I am sweetness and light and way the fuck off the fucknuts radar.
Hell I think the last EC review I had up was good, come to think of it Gwen’s last few EC reviews have been great. So tis not me.
You have moved servers, would that do anything to dates? Oh Bam is prolly not talking shit about samhain cuz you know she turned pop. But that doesn’t really count. Are the SB reviewing again? But nah, cuz they have been around since right before my blogger blog.
Giggles has been here since god was a boy. Seton is a new blog. Ro is way to nice.
::shrug:: I have no clue. Maybe it is Jaynier. Keep an eye on her… she is sneaky.

Sybil, I thought she was talking about the dishing Diva, but then again, I’m not sure how that’s EC related. I don’t think she’s talking about my blog in that instance because she’s been following my blog for a while, and during those earlier days, I took that Ghurkin (hehe) woman to task over her ignorant comments about EC, so that would rule out nefarious motives surely?
Although, I am using reasoned logic, which only works if all parties involved are open to the same common sense thinking. *g*

*gasp* Sybil – how dare you call me sneaky. Oh wait…yeah, never mind 🙂
Wow – some of you need to calm down a bit aye. I don’t think the rant was offensive and hypocritical – it was bloody funny though.

Jaynie, I had hoped my dry wit (hint of vomiting on the keyboard) lightened my comment. Perhaps next time, I should indicate my obscure humour with a smiley face?

“I truly don’t know, Jaynie. My husband and I both strongly feel that, accident or not, mistake or no mistake, he deserved to be punished for what he did.”
OMG! I just read this this Jaid Black interview… YUCK!
First Degree Murder is not a “mistake” or an “accident” I cannot believe she used that terminology.
The person who receives a First Degree Murder sentence killed someone on purpose and it was provable in court.
I am sure the family of the poor woman he killed has also been “starved for human affection and attention” too. Most likely hers!
I’m wow… I don’t know…
Karen I thought maybe you were being a bit harsh on Jade but um now with all this other stuff nope… man I can’t even express how messed up her POV is.
