Linton Robinson (University of Washington) is a successful multi-published author. We agree with what he had to say about AW. It's a good resource, but the present owner and the moderators are dreadful. All that bullying and banning is totally out-of-line.

Oh man, this is a revolution. You guys rock!
ReplyDeleteIf any good comes of this it will be a hesitancy on the part of Mac Stone to attack and defame a member then ban him. S/he will now realize that this shameful act of bullying will now be recorded and plastered over half a dozen sites, such as this one.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly. In other words, sites like this have given AW members back a voice, some power and dignity.
DeleteAt least the victims of the bullying have some recourse now, and the thug at AW and her bullying buddies know that. The thread where the crime takes place and all that goes down will be duly recorded on a dozen other web sites.
ReplyDeleteWhen the likes of Strauss and the thugs at AW threw writers under a bus, sites like this one came to their rescue. They are the new writers advocates.
ReplyDeleteAs bad as AW is Lin Robinson is far, far wore. Linton Hoy Robinson is a pathological liar and ex con who stalked his coworker in Mazatlan, Mexico, super-gluing the locks to her car and fled with the police came for him. He has two out standing arrest warrants for him in Mexico. He's a liar, a sleazebag and a parasite who goes goes writing forum to writing forum causing trouble until they ban him. The fact that even Melodi kicked him out should tell you all you need to know.
