  Come on. Is that really a question you can't answer.

  That's an question I can answer about *you* just not the over-reaching categorization of "independent authors."

  Before your absence (glad you hear you're healing up/moving on after your *event*) you were intentionally insulting to everyone who reached out to you.

  Never acknowledging anyone who responded to your forum posts/stories.

  But I'm glad to see *you* back.

  final question to you:

  must you act like a complete dick-wad in every manifestation?

  "But I'm glad to see *you* back."

  For your work.

  That's all I care about.

  "must you act like a complete dick-wad in every manifestation?"

  Your work doesn't justify it.

  I'm confused. Did Adam really pee in your Cheerios, Dawg, or are these love bites?

  I just think he could do so much more here.

  RESPOND to comments.
  RESPOND to forum posts (of his own making).

  RESPOND to other writers' work.

  You know, just be a guy.

  I should check my stuff & see if there are any comments I missed so I don't get a flogging. Not that there's anything wrong with floggings, if you like that kind of thing.

  (I think he's joking.)

  And anyway, we all know that independent authors have a bad rep because of underhanded tactics and propaganda disseminated by the established publishing-industrial complex trying to shut down the competition. Twitter rumors say Edward Snowden is holding onto a document that proves at least half of the big however many paid telecom sweatshops on the subcontinent a dollar a post to leave bad reviews and one star independent books on Amazon and that "meltdowns" where independent authors insult and abuse reviewers are faked harder than the moon landing. He won't release it though. Too inflamatory.

  As far as the intent of this particular forum topic goes, if you can't laugh at yourself, you can at least laugh at someone else.

  Hehe. It's starting to sound like a Nike commercial in here. Now we just some close ups of sweat rolling down the backs of hairless, muscled calves. The leg kind, not the cow kind.

  I picture a handsome, sweaty sock puppet banging it's head against the keyboard.
