Don't Poke the Troll!

Okay, so I won't. Not by name. Don't need the aggravation. But maybe he'll sniff this out, since he goes after the same couple people over and over and over, for years. Might have Google Alerts set up to tell him when any of his favorite enemies/tormentors are mentioned. (I very much doubt it, as he seems a little more technologically illiterate than I.) You can't fault the boy for determination. So I'll just say a few nice things about his favorite targets.

Brian Keene - a gentleman, generous with his time and help and advice to fellow writers. Does not suffer fools gladly, from which one should conclude - Don't be a fool!

Christine Morgan - a very talented writer on her own, and also very generous with her time. She has done an amazing job reading through my latest manuscript. Deft and eloquent. She has real skills and those will soon be recognized with a little award, and I think with much bigger things in the near future.

Louise Bohmer - very good editor. Did a thorough job with an earlier manuscript of mine. Totally professional.

So, the moral is - treat people nice, and for the most part, they'll treat you extra special nice!
