Liana (the vanishing writer!!)
1) I, like Antoinette didn't rubbish your work, just your remarks.
2) I am not a personal friend of Antoinette, we have never met nor conversed in any shape or form.
3) After reading your claims that ALL of your work had been cherry picked I also checked your statement out and found that indeed it had not.
4) You say that I am touchy. Uh Uh. I haven't pulled all of my work off the site, as you have appeared to have done. Why, I ask myself. Surely not because you have had your postings answered in the same vain as you, yourself posted yours?
5) I suggest, should you still be clocking on to ABC tales that you invest in a good dictionary and a grammar checker as your last posting does somewhat leave a lot to be desired in that department. Normally, I wouldn't comment on such a trivial thing, but seeing as you seem to be very observant on other people's mistakes, I felt that you would be grateful for a gentle nudge in the right direction.
Finally from one unknown writer to a world published author, please feel free to peruse my ramblings on ABC tales, and if you wish to comment on my work, I can take it, be it on the chin or anywhere else you may wish to place it!!!!!!
awww .. auntie jackie ... no need for that ... i have no personal axes to grind on here ... i read a lot of the work on the site and i thought liana's work was good is all ...
this is quite enough of one topic that seems to have gone a bit astray.
as for the disappearing writer thing, i suspect that anyone who saw fit to remove their stories/poems from the site did so out of compulsion to protect their rights with regards to selling material to other publishers. i myself am thinking about removing a significant portion of my writing so that i won't worry about where the rights lie on submission to publishers. i think this was where the topic was originally headed?

And lm supposed to be the vitriolic one???????
Nah, Liana is a real name, unlike l suspect the rest of yours.
Ivoryfishbone, Richard - thanks for taking the discussion to a serious level, l made a point, and got surrounded by schoolyard sniping - very odd.
Yes, it worried me about the publishing rights, in that once ABC publish it, that same piece cant be published anywhere else for a year. Seems a long while..... Thats all l wanted to mention.
After a nice mail from Mark Yelland Brown, facts are clearer.
Regards from the top of the pedestal (apparently)

Hey Liana, I think you're getting a little overwrought. Don't get so upset all the time, I wasn't having a snipe at anybody, just trying to inject some humour into what seemed to be getting a bit out of hand and personal.
Oh and by the way, Mississippi is a real name, check it out in any atlas, they've named a whole state just that in America!
