Tumbles, I think you had better think long and hard about that statement you just wrote there.
Firstly for referring directly and in such a way as to identify for any who would care to know about an aspect of an off line employment.
Secondly for making a statement about the nature and quality of the work completed in that employment.
Thirdly the implication that the job should be ‘outsourced’ i.e. is effectively saying the job should be made redundant with all that would imply.
You might also care to consider that as someone in his late forties I’m not some kid afraid to go and make a formal or informal complaint (whichever is most appropriate) about the above statement to a relevant party – and that I personally find it particularly offensive in light of the fact of my original willingness to assist from the off in ensuring that the original book was as widely read as possible, to the extent of continuing email communication between us over months and what I thought was our friendship, was thrown back in my face subsequently by public comments attacking this site on other forum on the Internet.
Given that I’ve generally been regarded as (correctly) being a fairly openly pro-SF voice on this site and elsewhere over the years such behaviours as expressed above and those comments attacking the site elsewhere are inexplicable.
