One bit of unsolicited advice: I would be very wary of finding common cause with two of the worst trolls on this board. Take care. You've got that backwards, are they trolls because they bother to respond? I'm not interested..... kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you spend a good amount of time involved in the program, maybe a year or two, submitting several hundred books through the process...you might be able to. Even then, though, the situation changes, so it's hard to become an expert in all things SS. To answer the question you would not answer, no, it's not a trivial topic to those involved in the Signature Series program. I'll pass. For the money, OA gives me that uniqueness and "piece" of the artist (and half the time it is signed too). Although it has gotten so expensive for pages that excite me a little I am not sure I will ever get a page that does again.

No. They're trolls because they go out of their way to say and do things to provoke conflict. Here, don't take my word for it, here's the definition of "troll": " to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/troll What do you suppose I have backwards...?

kav Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have other pages that are worth more, for instance a great Swanderson piece, but that's my favorite Phillips piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan510 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Luckily, the Big Guns I talk to behind the scenes understand fully what's going on here. If one is called a "troll" by the "most moderated member on the forum" (not my words, but someone in power here), should that almost be considered a compliment? kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 As others have pointed out, the voices in one's head don't count as "Big Guns." The difference, as always, is motive. Who does what, and why. It always comes down to motive. People can be, and are, fooled...for a while. It will all come out in the wash. jsilverjanet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Making false accusations to damage someone's reputation...solely because you don't like their opinions, because their opinions offend you...is the antithesis of being a "man of your word." It is the opposite of it. Again: it all comes down to motive. You notice the chest thumping? "I know something you don't know!" It's what children do, and how children behave. This is not, and never has been, the place to deal with personality conflicts, and yet....here we are again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
