Actually, my middle name is Ellen. Wander is my maiden name. I went to an all-girls' high school, and we were in the habit of using first name-maiden-name-married name so we'd remember each other.
Ya wouldn't make fun of Garamet if ya knew what was good for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonanno_crime_family
All that education, and you still can't spell. Bon-anno. It means "Good year" in Italian. My late husband was Sicilian.
No implication made here but isn't that the same last name as the family which controlled the Mafia in the United States back in the early 1980s? Before the Gotti's took over.
No, knucklehead. Alumna newsletters, that kind of thing. Yanno, there's cousin Guido in Jersey. We don't like to talk about him.
How about Bill Bonanno? Quit the life, moved to California. Became a writer. Now dead. Sound family familiar?
Or, Smith, Jones, Johnson in the UK and USA. If you actually thought my in-laws were related to the crime family, you'd be a lot nicer to me.
Despicable for you to take a political dispute from a BBS and use it as reason to attack Garamet in a real world fashion. You are a complete piece of shit.
I didn't. She has known my opinion of the book for years and she told me I should critique her work. Don't know what your problem is
Again, Dayton has (a) admitted frequently he doesn't like women characters and (b) he doesn't have more than three or four friends. More to the point, there weren't any space battles in Dwellers, so nothing about it was going to satisfy his very narrow worldview. The novel was published in 1985. It sold 150,000 copies and was on the Times list for two weeks. His petulant little comments are hardly going to affect that at this point. His impotent is about equivalent to Flashy's.
You could've posted the review here by upholding your own alleged standards rather than going over to Amazon and posting in on a public review site for potential customers to see. Most honourable people, knowing that it would be a negative review, and a totally nonobjective one (which is evidenced by the deliberately aggressive inclusion of spiteful sentences like "this book is awful" and "try to forget it"), would have refrained from posting it in such a place, and rather offered the critique privately on WF. You have totally made a mockery of your previous complaints and once against demonstrated your own hypocrisy.
