The fact that he allowed them onto his site with their garbage in the first place demonstrated to me that Dawid was going to earn his money the same way Otis did. At the expense of Indie authors, and supporting cyber bullying.Carroll Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491035669373430002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268099387414126120.post-58230945163752753402013-09-29T17:01:59.663-07:002013-09-29T17:01:59.663-07:00I guess he changed his tune.

The best course of action is the only course of action you can take against these people ..... and that is .... delete them. Ban them. <br /><br />They act like 8 year olds. Treat them like 8 year olds. If they can't play nice or without having to be mean, take their toy away until they learn how to behave. <br /><br />Nobody is saying they can't write a bad review. But if they are going to abuse the review to attack authors and rate and review books they never even read, then take the toy away from them. How difficult is that to do? To understand? <br /><br />To NOT utilize that option, is supporting what they are doing. End of story. <br /><br />So in my opinion, BL supports these people. That's what the evidence shows me. Dawid can blog hop all he wants and play "run around the issue". The bottom line is, if you allow them on your site, and you allow them to be abusive, you support them. <br /><br />How can you look at it any other way? BL can label them as "shit for brains", it isn't going to matter. The only thing to do is get rid of them. Period.

Or even makes that an option? First there will be another round of attacks on authors because everything that happens is the fault of authors in the eyes of the sociopaths and second, although I've tried to explain to Dawid the troll practice of gaming the system, the trolls will tag as many authors as possible as trolls. So his solution will only cause more grief for writers, solve nothing and cause more problems.Rick Carufelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247312904558847421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268099387414126120.post-63189290841432168942013-09-28T23:12:28.435-07:002013-09-28T23:12:28.435-07:00I hear ya.

From everything I have read on Mr. Piaskowski's comments, BL is shaping up to be a GR Jr. <br /><br />However, authors have gained a lot of experience through the GR mess and trust me, that knowledge will be used towards BL. <br /><br />Especially the copyright issue. I know of a group that is planning multiple take down notices if their covers are found on that site. Indie authors who have been attacked through GR do not approve of their material showing up on BL if they are going to allow the trolls to exist on it. <br /><br />We'll see how this plays out.
