Our readers seem to be uniformly thrilled. The negative comments we get are from people who have have an agenda before they even pick it up and read it. When I went to buy the book, the bookseller gave me a lecture about your alleged wrongs against the Internet and wouldn't point me to the book until she was finished. I find the behavior of the clerk reprehensible and a form of intimidation. There's little doubt in my mind that the majority of people don't object to our book, but a core group, located mainly at universities, is having a wonderful time acting as if erroneously entering the title of our book in bookstore computers is a grassroots movement.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
It's easy to let the worst side come out if you don't have to answer for your actions. There actually were people stalking us electronically, making obscene phone calls and issuing death threats. Most of them have worn themselves out, but a few unbalanced souls are still alive. Your book details a lot of the controversy, but it doesn't tell us what kind of results you got from advertising. There were lots of folks who wanted the help, even realizing that we couldn't guarantee anyone a positive result.
