that is hilarious!

 

all janitor's closets lock! It's health and safety!!!

 

I prefer more of a smolder than a smirk, but that's just me.

 

I got an ad for Ashley Madison in this thread

 

Izzat Adrian Brody? The CG one, not the overlay.

 

I'm torn between laughing my arse off and being freaked the fuck out.

 

That’s what I thought, but I’ve only gotten them in this thread, and on my phone where I have my Safari browser open to WF and never use it for anything else. Even when I’ve been searching for Faleena and cocky stories it’s in a different browser, and I don’t log into any of them. Safari stays open to WF and that’s all I use it for—everything else is FF or Chrome so how does that work?

 

SOMEONE HAS ESCAPED! (I know it's technically "cockiest" but you know Faleena'll be down on them like a ton of bricks as soon as she finds out.)

I only see them on my phone, in Safari. On Chrome, on my laptop, I don't see them. The only thing odd is that it is in Safari, which I only use for this forum. When I'm searching the internet for whatever I feel like searching for, I use Firefox on my phone.

 

I can't see how she'd be able to go after those. Technically, it's not "cocky"

 

I agree with you.

these cyber-warriors think they are doing well by doling out their own brand of "justice" but they are soo wrong. Regardless of what I think of her, her books and the whole cockygate crap, I wouldn't wish her ill will.

 

Yeah. It's my firm belief that trolling is never right and never deserved.

 

In her product descriptions she's asked people to ignore one-star reviews posted after the 4th of May. (She's also told them only to look at five-star reviews for "honest" opinions, so there's that.) I think that the whole five-star review (of which, to be fair, she has no shortage) thing is rather egotistical and I have scant sympathy for her over the whole affair, but I don't entirely blame her for wanting to filter her reviews. There's some blatantly nasty stuff there. As a writer, I've always favoured poetic justice. Let her precious trademark get revoked. Hopefully she'll learn something and not make the same mistake again.

 

I may have mentioned this elsewhere, but when I'm considering a book, I usually check out a few of the five stars, a few of the three stars, and a few of the one stars. There's generally good information in all of those bands. However. if you're looking for a book about the Holocaust, never go below the three star level.

Just trust me.

 

Funny enough, I always start with the one Stars, ignore the five stars and usually just trust the three star review the one-star reviews are usually just humor myself. But I agree the three star usually more reliable

 

She shouldn't play the youtuber game by trying to cut out the things she
disagrees with. It makes her look petty and childish. It is also kinda a big
red flag when someone tries to plug their ears and go la la la, just so they
don't have to deal with anything honest even if it isn't a stellar review for
a book that they did not enjoy.

Just my 2 coins worth.

 

Concur with @big soft moose on that.
Take away the BS reviews and that comment.
