I love the thought police who basically were coming in the middle of threads to tell us that "We want to talk about romance!"

Reminded me of a 3 year old who's parents were talking they start yelling "Play with me!" Like "I want everyone to do what I want them to do!"

Geez, don't post on the threads that don't interest you.

Same goes for here.

I just couldn't understand their motivation. I could kind of see where Orion was coming from, Amy Lane just seemed like an author trying to protect authors, some seemed like DAM and the LIW, but a few were actually common readers/consumers that wanted us to just be quiet. I saw it as:

Mob1: DAM and LIW

Mob2: US

Mob3: Orion, Amy Lane, Caitrina, Nightwind, DR Denler, namedujour, etc.

Just my thoughts.

That was one of my issues with Amazon---no mob control. While I do think everyone has the right to vent, the owners (admins, mods, mothers, whatever) have a duty to keep the place civil.

If that means pulling threads, locking topics etc, then so be it.

OK, granted, I kinda ride to the right side of Atilla the Hun, but :P

I have never been on a chat line before this "DAM" thing. I I am glad there is a "Place to go" and "talk" to people who are genuinely interested in books and giving their honest opinions of books without someone giving negative comments! I shall be sad to go back to the library to work!
But, I do believe I will continue to check this site out.!!
B) :D B)

The people here seem genuine. Which, lately I haven't seen!

I'm here, but posting under a different screen name. Too much attention on my Amazon screen name and I worry that authors of books I liked and mention will suffer repercussions from the DamPack.

Please know that I am here.

Yah, that's true.
We posted links in the Amazon forum and other public forums where they lurk and hang out too, so I understand that it's better safe than sorry.
