the book looks funny. if it turns out the samples included in the front page article are as good as it gets, oh well. i'm glad he tried writing a book. i'll celebrate anyone putting themselves out there enough to try and write one. i'll give it a go when it arrives.

That's not their holiday gift list. They did a list of books to give as gifts, and your book didn't make it. Staff Picks is a weekly article where people who write for the AV Club name random things they've been enjoying that week, and it's cool that you made it on there, but it's not a top 10 list or a list of gift recommendations. The article I just linked is.

Yeah, I read the AV Club and also I am very lame/uncool IRL.

Buddy: if you don't like me, or my book, just say so. Don't try to imply whatever bullshit you're implying.

Fake edit: for the love of gently caress, you're a mod on the front page board, and you're making GBS threads on a front page writer who is finding the smallest measure of success. gently caress. You.

I truly can't believe it. I totally expect this crap from my fellow goons, who are much like myself, angry and unloved.

But what's the point of even modding the front page board if you're going to bend over backwards to poo poo in the cheerios of a front page writer who's specifically posting in a thread about their first published book?

Because you're a stupid defensive rear end in a top hat who freaks out whenever he's criticized. I like the front page a lot. I care about it. I'd love to see people on the forums engaging with it more. So the fact that you seem happy to smugly self-promote to a forum full of people criticizing you while at the same time being incredibly defensive any time anyone says anything bad is very frustrating to me. Trying to brag about yourself in ways that are just straight-up factually incorrect is stupid. I'm happy that you've published a book, and that's great, totally an achievement to be proud of, and it may very well be an excellent book, but you're also kind of a dick to everyone all the time, and you're super full of yourself, and if there's one thing that SA is, it's a website where we can make fun of that exact combination of traits.

Then just say that, you weird, jealous head case! Say "you're a stupid defensive rear end in a top hat and I hate you and your book."

Don't try and make me out to be a loving liar. That's horrible.

Your statement implies that I am lying about what the AV club wrote about. Remember, the paragraph of bullshit you meticulously researched to try and make a front page writer look bad in a thread about his own book?

Don't run from your own bullshit, you weird, jealous head case!

I'll tell you what: so this doesn't turn into even more of a drama fest -- thank you, by the way, for kicking this poo poo off with your smear -- email me or call me and we can talk about this offline. asterios.kokkinos@gmail.com.

I read the AV Club, and you misunderstood what the weekly Staff Picks feature is. That's all. That was what I was saying - they had a separate list of top books to give as gifts. But you keep doing you, my man.

The article you are referencing came out five days after the article I am referencing, so no, I am not lying about being on a list I'm not on. The article that praised my book came out on the 17th. I posted about it on the 17th. The article you are trying to use to prove that I'm lying came out on the 22nd. Why would I lie about being on a list that came out...IN THE FUTURE?

Additionally: I said, "Toys 4 Cheap is the Onion AV Club's #2 staff pick for holiday gifts!"

The article is in a section called "Staff Picks." They picked three things, and put mine second. If you want, I can demote myself to #3, will that make you feel better about the fact that you went after a front page writer posting in a thread about his own drat book?

Proof:

http://www.avclub.com/article/help-holiday-procrastinator-10-gift-books-dont-say-247197


Finally: again, if you wanna call me unfunny, defensive, an rear end in a top hat, yeah go ahead! I've been writing comedy since I was 12. I've heard it all. People make fun of me, I troll them back, whoop dee poo poo.

But implying that I'm lying about what the AV club wrote about me? That's shameful poo poo. That's low. You should apologize.
