First printing is pretty much sold out! Amazon just bought out the very last of our stock, so if you wanna grab a copy before the holidays, act fast. Click here and grab it for TWELVE percent off the cover price!

FactsAreUseless posted: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. 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.

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?

FactsAreUseless posted: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.

FactsAreUseless posted:I don't think you're a liar, just an idiot. Nobody's jealous of your success, we're just sick of you writing dumb poo poo and freaking out when people don't like it. 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.

FactsAreUseless posted: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/vintage-holiday-lights-and-kitschy-photos-plus-boo-247054 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.

Alaois posted:You desperately do not understand the staff picks section do you I honestly don't! I swear to god, I do not read the av club regularly. I know I'm in an article called staff picks, and they're suggesting readers by my book. But this isn't a case of me not getting specific site terminology right. This is a mod trying to smear a front page writer he doesn't like, instead of just doing what everyone else does, and saying "I hate that fat, unfunny guy."

What else do you call posting that I'm lying about what the press said about me in an attempt to make me look bad? I guess you've also run out of facts, though. You guys wanna fight me on the facts, go ahead. You just tried to with your weird "holiday" argument and it didn't work.

scott zoloft posted:i think it is interesting that you're trying to prove that you have nothing to prove by providing of proof of the contrary while also panhandling in 3 different threads o_O What can I say: I'm very easily baited. I'm not used to people talking about me in the abstract, and it's just really way too tempting to weigh in. One day, I hope there are multiple "Scott Zoloft Sucks" threads and you find the strength to ignore them. Also, you started all this poo poo, so you're one to complain!

It's a big deal for me, dude! It's a nice little review and link to my book's Amazon page. I've never been written up in The AV Club before. And you guys clearly all read the AV Club. I mean, enough to be the most pedantic assholes in the world about what qualifies as a suggestion of a "holiday gift" vs a suggestion to "buy a holiday themed book in a holiday themed article coming out during the holidays." I posted a link to a write up about my book in a thread about my book. Keep finding fault with that, it's a great look, especially for our mods.

het posted:How are you this insecure when you have 350+ people giving you $2k+ per month? Like I get that that isn't enough to live on by itself but surely it's enough not to freak the gently caress out at the littlest perceived slight, right? If the guy's gonna punch, I'm gonna punch back! There are now three threads dedicated to how lovely I am on a forum I've been reading since I was a kid. If I'm not handling this perfectly, I don't know what to tell you -- it's weird to experience and I'm doing the best I can. And honestly, the idea that people would go so far as to parse me promoting my first appearance in the AV Club -- in a thread about my own book started by someone else -- as me intentionally misstating poo poo is incredibly hurtful. That's really, really low. Asterios fucked around with this message at 12:06 on Dec 24, 2016 |

rear end posted:You're been reading SA since you were a kid and you still freak out like this when people call you out? How did you not learn? I'm a dumb, sensitive baby! It's so, so stupid to engage. But I honestly do let the stuff get to me. I am egocentric and dumb. Like, the first time I sent Lowtax a front page submission, I was 18. I'd always reach out every few years, until finally, an SA insider was generous enough to send my stuff to Garbage Day. And then fifteen years later, I got offered a weekly slot, which is a dream come true. So I'm just very dumb and emotional about all of this. And clearly, I would rather spar with strangers on the internet about the syntax used in an AV club link on Christmas Eve than do anything to fix the massive problems in my life. And my oversensitivity makes me the perfect bait for the sites loyal trolls, who are now in their 30's & 40's, and are also depressed and sad and upset. I'm dumb, and this is all dumb. But do any of us have anything better to do?

504 posted:Well yes, because some of us have written a book (It's you, you have better things to do) Yeah, I owe a second one -- a 50k word memoir -- and it's terrifying. And I've gotta make 25 episodes of the five minute podcast before the end of the year. It's easier to fight with people who don't like me than create stuff for people who do. It's dumb, and I'm dumb, but anxiety, depression and a willingness to feed the trolls seem to be winning. Happy holidays!
