Let us return to the issue of authors and how they should respond to negative reviews

[james_davis_nicoll]

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?

I don't think that asking people to post positive reviews if they enjoyed the book is particularly heinous.

OTOH the Pentagon thing is nuts. :)

Isn't going after Patricia Cornwell a tad too much like plinking fish in a barrel? Big BIG fish? Teeny-weeny barrell?

I deeply resent the way this administration makes me feel like a nutbar conspiracy theorist.
