The first thread is the original one, referencing Brian Keene’s entry about Boyer, and Rick Moore’s letter writing campaign. The second one was started by Jeani, in an attempt to stay on topic, after the first thread started going astray.

This is the shit I hate about Matt. He is like one of those people who says “Teach the controversy!” about things like evolution. There is such a thing as being so open-minded your brains fall right out.
Oh, no, people can’t say mean things about Dave Boyer on Shocklines!
I mean, there is no “other side” that needs to be heard. It’s not like Dean Koontz’s and Richard Matheson’s texts slipped and fell into his computer along with a bunch of hardworking, less well known writers’ (and even Nickolaus Pacione’s).
Boyer’s plagiarism is clearly provable fact. Full stop. There’s no way he can explain or excuse it.
Iron Dave has struck again, this time a story by Andrew Wolter called “Chef of the Gods”. Drop me a line and I’ll give you all of the deets.
Done. Check your email.
*sad face* Nothing ye.

Nevermind – got it.
Rusty, your butthurt report form link is broken.
Weird. It probably happened during one of the WP software upgrades. I’ve fixed it.
I had wanted to link to your form, but had to take another while yours was down.
Incidentally, Write Agenda has taken down all of the names on the boycott list except for the top four. They have, however, left up the page on me.
You have your own page now? That’s relatively new. A few days ago, you were only on the boycott list.
I’ve been so busy that the days are starting to blur. I think that happened yesterday.
I think they are about to go into hiding. TWA deleted their twitter acct.
According to the Absolute Write thread that’s still going strong, they’re battening down the hatches on their WP blog, too. Next to go, their FB account? They have been deleting comments like crazy.
They haven’t quite hit the Cooks Source Magazine level of tap-dancing yet, but they’re headed in that direction. I expect that if they do disappear, they’ll simply pop up again with a new name.
When I tried to find them yesterday, they were gone. They are back apparently. But either a lot of people blocked them or something. Because they were following over 4k people and now they are following just under 2k.
Something is not right.
But yes, I know they will. But the internet is sooo easy to hunt people down on.
I’m going to keep after them. They are my hobby.
They’re back on the Rip-Off Report this morning, carrying on the skirmish.
tally ho!
I responded to them. I’m working on a blog post now.
Is there a page 2 on RIp-Off for that? No matter how many times I reload the page, the last entry I see is theirs from this morning.
They are very slow to update things.
My rebuttal on Rip Off Report has posted. And for some odd reason, it posted twice.
