sock puppet punch  First, to be honest I’m not shocked. To put
it plain and simple, the big movers and shakers that everyone
idolizes in the KDP/Self Publishing cult are all very
confrontational. Their attitude, the way they talk, the way the
post, the way the blog, etc, has an air of superiority and
confrontation, and Konrath is the worse.  They’ve become self
important, they have no real arguments (well, their rhetoric is
basically a bunch of strawmen without facts) and when you
question them they bully and bully and bully and go into attack
mode, attacking anyone who tries to have a different opinion.
One thing that bothers me the most is in one of these articles
(I can’t remember which one) said something about learning from
American Publishing- where do you think this noise and nonsense
got started? They got started here. We’ve been dealing with this
shit for a long time now, and I want to say it’s got to stop,
but will it stop? How will it stop? Amazon and the rest don’t
seem to want to actually do any
