Re: I do pay authors

I'm not trying to sabotage you at all. Just don't think you give an honest impression of yourself, and hence aren't fair with your contributing authors who have to deal with the aftermath of your tirades. Is your anger justified? Sure. In some instances. Is your hate speech justified? Absolutely not. Funny how you fail to address the quotes in my posts above. Let these people know who you really are. Be honest for once. Stop trying to spin yourself as the victim. You wanted to pretend to be a "bad boy", well here it is. But I have news for you: "Bad Boys" don't typically ask there mommies to fight there battles. You made this bed, be man enough to lie in it.
And what is this "when I scrape up some money" crap? Where's this listed in your guidelines? Do you make this know to your contributing authors upon acceptance? "The check will be in the mail some day. Just keep an eye out!" What the hell kind of situation are you running? You're on a government check! And your sales are consistently poor (hence the real reason you changed payment "strategies"). How the hell can you come here and tell this guy you'll pay him when you scrape up some money? Don't you have a business plan for these anthologies? I'm sure Preditors & Editors are very pleased with you "Whenever" payment policy.
