Thanks for mentioning that it's not necessarily a progression. I had been working outside this week trying to remove a tree trunk and managed to give myself a pretty bad case of heat exhaustion. But I didn't remember feeling any cramps, just getting to a point where my heart was racing and my stomach felt upset.
I saw Sammy's rant too. Something along the lines of "How dare they question her professionalism! They had it coming!" even though questioning her professionalism would turn up that her only "sales" have been to vanity presses. I have to wonder if Sammy / A Gent is actually one of the 20 Worst blogging under a psuedonym. Either that, or he has all the common sense of Neville Chamberlain.
A big thanks to C. E. Petit and the whole AW Mod Squad. It looks like the end result is going to be absolutely the worst possible outcome possible for Barb. Had Stephanie merely laughed this off, it would have been just a footnote in one thread that many AW members don't even read.
But instead, it looks like she has merely bought herself maybe sixty hours of time during which people looking for threads about her on AW will get error messages. And meanwhile, she has done something very public to annoy the entire online writing community. Multiplying online enemies is about the worst result you can get if you are trying to keep something about your operation a secret.
Normally a post about literary agents on my blog would be rather off-topic. But I'm going to add a copy of the 20 Worst to my blog and a link to this thread explaining what BB's been up to, and I hope all the other AW bloggers will do the same thing.
This means WAR!
(Disclaimer for rotten agents spying on this thread: This statement in no way endorses physical threats on Barbara Bauer's person or attempts to cause physical harm to her. War is being used in a purely metaphorical sense to denote a struggle to publish our side of the story on the Internet.)
