I can't post the link because I don't have ten postings yet

It's already been explained to you how you can present a link. If you have to put graphics on photobucket, you don't HAVE a link to your publication, do you?

You have made a mess of this with the defensive reaction. MOST forums will take a jaundiced view of somebody who pops in and says, "hey, send me your email address."

I'd say if you have something to show, some REASON why anybody should respond to you, then for crissakes show it or move on and come back when you have something.

I already told you I don't have a link to it, I don't have a website. I could not post a link to photobucket, because I don't have enough posts on here yet. Also, I was told that I should post it on a photosharing site, which is the reason I posted it on photobucket. Did you happen to miss all the posts that told me to do that?

Lin, so far, you have called me names, called me a scammer without knowing anything about me, and just generally made a jerk of yourself, under the guise of "warning" other writers about me, plus using offensive language to do it. Ignorant people hate, but only the most ignorant hate without reason. If you want to check out my post on photoucket fine. If you want to request a PDF of my writer's guidelines, via e-mail, fine. If not, leave this thread, and take your uninformed opinions with you

You are doing a GREAT job of convincing people to get with your progam here kid.

My advice to you was to show some substance instead of all this whining and snapping. My advice to others is not to send out emails to people on the internet for no reason, excellent advice.

You are hardly empowered to say "leave this thread" you little twerp.

Like I said, start over. You've got ONE MORE FUCKING POST until you excuse about linking to your pdf is no good anymore and you have to put up or shut up.

As long as you keep trying to get people's email addresses, you are going to encounter resistance. I just don't understand why you are too thick to figure that out.

Or the other stuff like putting it in your signature or writing the URL out without making a link out of it.
I've tried to be helpful to you, but you are too contentious and, frankly, kind of dumb, to pick up on it.
What is it you want here so desperately?

Frankly, I don't want your e-mail address. Nor am I interested in doing business with anybody else from this forum, if you are representative of the type of people I will encounter.
Now tell me, are you too lazy, or just too damn stupid to do a search on photobucket using the parameters I gave? I told you why I couldn't post a link, but I told you how to get to it. Is that so hard for you to understand? What is your point?

Heplful? Is that what you call it now? Cause where I come from, bitching somebody out without cause, is not considered helpful.
Earlier, somebody posted about how easy it is to set up e-mail addresses. If people are so worried about somebody spamming their e-mail, (most of which have very effective spam-blockers anyway), why not set up a new account.If they are interested in getting more info, request it from an account they don't use for anything else. What is so difficult about that?
What is it you want here so desperately?

What do I want here? Well, originally, I wanted to find talented writers who were interested in having their stories published. At this point, though, I am basically just trying to defend myself from people like you who insist on besmirching my intelligence and integrity with your unintelligent and offensive quotes. I don't like being called dishonest, nor do I like being called stupid.
On most forums you would have already been removed because of your abusive nature.
Tell me, do you also respond like this when you get rejection letters from other publishing companies? Because if you do, you probably don't get published very much.

wayn007 · 04-18-2008, 08:49 PM

Oh, and BTW, here is your link- wayn007 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Foxee · 04-19-2008, 06:18 AM

Okay, people, I understand your wariness. However, Wayne has provided a link to the other publication he referenced.

Wayne, please be willing to give folks information via PM rather than requiring an email as your first contact and you may do better.

I was tempted to put the image of Wayne's link here but it's large and, of course, we should consider copyright.

Also, and I think this speaks well of Wayne, I had provided him with my email then remembered the photobucket option and asked him to do that rather than emailing me. He has complied with that.

Point taken. Thank-you.

No, actually, on most forums it wouldn't have gotten that far because you are TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO SEND YOU THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which is also, as I pointed out before you started getting to defensive, against the policies of THIS FORUM.

Nobody has said you are dishonest, just confused. I'll stand by my assessment that you aren't particularly bright because you have just kept hammering away at something that doesn't work (in spite of being told the way you could work it) and keep whining and chewing at something when doing that undermines your image as somebody who it would be a good idea to trust the judgement of.

At this point you HAVE your 10 posts, but still haven't linked to anything to allow people to evaluate you. Or done any of the other easy shit suggested.

(You also continued your quest for writers' emails despite being told it's a no-no here)

So, you know, get over it kid. Try to sound like somebody capable of running a publication worth the attention you are trying to whoop up.

OR, keep sniveling and slapping around and see if it gets you anywhere.

Did you even look at the above post? Ummm there seems to be link there!! Oh, dear!! Maybe you should do your research, like a writer would, before making assumptions.

Maybe you should try your suggestions about not bullying and slapping around, (and let's not forget sniveling). You might also try actually writing a real book instead of slapping together a list of Spanish insults and calling yourself a writer. Tell me are you self-published?

lin · 04-19-2008, 02:53 PM

Okay, I was wrong. You're obviously a guy people should send their stories to. Just took awhile for you to make it clear.

I suppose as long as said people are in middle school. That has to be the most horrid publication I've ever seen. Wayne is that all there is to your publication? If not, please post a few pages from that issue.

The amount of typographical errors is inexcusable. The picture used doesn't have any type of copyright information, nor do the stories show any information about the authors. The birthday section is extremely strange, being most have your last name. (odd for a paper that spans three counties)

It screams of being slapped together in a couple days, only to appease those of us interested in seeing your publication. As I said post something from a few months back and more than just the cover page.

Even if you were in middle school, this paper is just horrid. You need more than writers to "donate" their stories to you; you need a professional designer. (along with someone that can edit worth a damn)

lin · 04-19-2008, 07:18 PM

Yeah, but he's obviously a really sensitive, caring editor who treats writers with respect.

Or slapped together for the pretense of having a publication. I see no reason to assume there are previous issues.
God KNOWS what this guy's game is.

I feel like sending him mail just to see what sort of fucked up lists I end up on.

Wow, so you can critique a publication by just looking at an image of the front page? You are amazing! So tell me, are you still sleeping with Lin?

You obviously have no knowledge of the area in which our publication is read. There are a lot of Schwartzes in my area, most of whom are not related to me, btw.

You know, with the barbed criticism I am getting from the disciples of Lin, I really see no good reason why I should continue to try to prove to you that I am who I say I am. I have followed all the suggestions that people have given to prove that I am legit, but it seems there are some people who, for some reason, have decided that I and my company need to be hated. I have answered to personal attacks, attacks on my company, attacks on my writing, and attacks on about everything else you people could think of. I have totally discounted any chance of finding writers on this site, and was basically just trying to defend my reputation, but I have decided nothing will "please" you idiots.
Even if you were in middle school, this paper is just horrid. You need more than writers to "donate" their stories to you; you need a professional designer. (along with someone that can edit worth a damn)

So, tell me, what are your credentials? What do you do that makes you an expert? What experience have you had, that gives you the right to critique my work? Have you had anything published? Have you even ever written anything? Or do you spend your days vegging out in front of the computer, pissing off people on forums?
Fantasygirl, you need to get a life, because you obviously are no writer.

wayn007 · 04-21-2008, 09:33 AM

I would like to issue a challenge. I have done everything but stand on my head to prove to you people that we are a legitimate company. I have withstood personal attacks from people who have not had to prove their own legitimacy, and I have taken personal attacks from people who have not done anything to prove themselves. I have had my writing and editing skills questioned by people who can't write or edit, according to all appearances. Are there any real writers on this site, or are you all a bunch of wanna-be hacks? I've had to prove myself, now to all the people who criticised me so far, either put up or shut up. Fantasygirl, how about some links to some of your work, if there is any. Lin, I already know only collects spanish insults, and puts them in book form. There probably are some good writers on this site, but so far I haven't found very many.
I have caught flak from posters for starting my own publishing company, but have any of you started a small business? Have you ridden out the ups-and downs that go with it?
I have been asked to prove myself, but nobody else has had to, so how about it? Let's have some links.
