Re: [ebook-community] Re: I Started A Publishing Company – Now I Need Your Help

  How can you change something already in print concerning someone sexual
connotations?  Is an author suppose to say "oh sorry I'll just sit right now
 right this second and make them all headro-sexual's just for you."  

Constructive criticism is not running down the author and their way of
thinking

If you were to go around trying to please every one all the time you would
never succeed in doing anything else.

When some complained about your book did you rewrite it for them?  

Some people do complain just for the sake of complaining, others do it to
make trouble so they can sit back and laugh at what they have done. Some do
it for the attention.  It amazes me that you would think people like do not
exist.  I have seen for myself first hand at what some people will do to
make others unhappy to make themselves happy.  Or get attention and do it in
public.

So thanking them for their contacting you and being a fan seems like the
simplest way of handling it.  Not getting into a argument with the reader.
That was what was meant by getting in a contest with a skunk.  I just don't
have time to argue with a reader.

I'm pretty surprised at much in this discussion, but your contention that
readers who complain to authors are skunks seeking attention just amazes me.
I've never complained to an author but should I ever chose to I would hope I
d be taken a little more seriously.  I wouldn't really expect an author to
stop what he/she does because I complained but I'd sure like to think what I
said was considered.
I've been in audiobook forums that included authors, narrators and
publishers for decades.  I participated in discussions in rec.arts.books for
many years.  I didn't always agree with what writers and publishers had to
say but I don't recall them acting abusive toward their readers.  I wonder
what's going on here.

I truly believe that people who complain to complain just want attention. 

They want to get something going it makes them feel important. It's a, "OH

look at me I got this author up set!" And when authors come back up set

then they are sitting back laughing and having a great time for themselves. 

This is all new to me, I am just now writing my first story. But I know I

would not bother getting into a pissing contest with a skunk.

So say thank you for your comments. I appreciate hearing from my fans.

There are cavilers and there are cavaliers.

Cavilers wail and complain but do nothing to help themselves.

Cavaliers look for opportunities and fill them.
