On reading the three statements, I think the RWA's is the most effective. No judgments. No condemnation. Not even dismay. Just a statement of fact: Harlequin no longer meets the RWA's definition of "eligible publisher" and won't be treated as such.
That's the way to do it.
Of course, you realize this means war.
If you'll take some unsolicited advice from a stranger: this is classic depressive behavior. He's trying to push you away not because he doesn't love you but because he loves you too much to have you see him the way he's emotionally feeling now. The hospital is doing the right thing by watching him and they shouldn't let him out until he stabilizes emotionally. Stay strong.

And, if this links to a scam spyware-remover, potentially dangerous.
The definitive answer to the quintessential tech interview question has now been given: "to keep texting teenagers from falling in".

Coming soon: a revival of a 1970s English cultural movement.

@132: Reverse the polarity!
#491: That's what's wrong with mundane literature today. No good dragon/car slash.
#113: Are you sure they didn't mean -291K?
The first thing I thought on reading this story was "is the book part of a textbook series?", because it's similar to what has happened there when a prominent author puts a name on what has been actually written by inexperienced and unsupervised staffers (I've personally seen that). Thinking that is actually IMO a bit more charitable than the other hypothesis, that the author doesn't know enough about the topic to be competent. But a sad thing all around. McPherson's review appeared to me to be quite restrained and that (again IMO) he didn't want to have to write it.
#314: I use cider vinegar mixed with dish detergent. Red wine works too.
#104: So, do we ask Michael if he writes poetry? :-)
