Like Shadowman, I won't touch any of Hubbard or Scotts stuff because of THEIR beliefs. Even if they didn't put their personal beliefs into their work, I'm still not going to touch it because of who they are as people.
And given your attitude JUST IN THIS THREAD, there is no way in hell I will touch any of your stuff.
I know what you're going to say, you don't care. That's fine. But pull your head out of your ass long enough for this to sink in.
If you want to be an author, if you want to make a living from writing, you're going to have to interact with other human beings. If you continue to act towards other human beings as you do to us you will fail.
You may say you don't care what people think of you, but if you TRULY want to make something from your writings, you're going to have to change your attitude.
Or alternatively you can stay cooped up in your home hating on humanity with this **** up misguided belief you're above the rest of humanity, and then proceed to die alone, lonely, and never remembered.
I don't understand how people can be against someone's work because they don't like the individual. There are plenty of people I don't like, yet I enjoy their works. Because you disagree with them, they deserve to be boycotted?
And I wouldn't expect to die any other way.

This thread has me thinking though, how many of us act the same online, as we do in real life. Can Sly really be that much of an **** in person? Can shadowman? Does the late Duragrip really think he can be Batman? Is Madeous really still in high school? Think about it.
For me, I'm much more likely to state how I really feel online. In real life, in person if you will, I'm much kinder. I generally believe humans are worth the benefit of the doubt. Online, I'm much quicker to dismiss somebody as a joke or piece of trash, and it m not sure that's the right thing to do.
Maybe Sly is making one big cry for help?
Agreed about the first part.
And this, more or less, is how I am in real life. The only difference being, is that people in real life actually like me, because I'm an "*******."
