Reviewer on Amazon “apologizes” to Nastragull Fans!

 

I will start off with the following: When a person admits that he/she is wrong then it demonstrates that said individual has a strong character and have earned respect, despite of his/her opinion about any matter.

Critiquing me and what I write, blog tweet about etc. that’s fine but whenever anyone attacks my fans…”follower” then I will attack back. I wrote about bad reviews last month on Sunday, August 4, 2013, heading: The Nastragull series

(http://sciencefiction-nastragull.blogspot.se/2013/08/the-nastragull-series.html) 

“There is, however, one reviewer who attacks you, the reader, and not me. That is so very wrong on so many levels. Labeling an entire group of people is WRONG! During our last World War there was a "political party" that labeled other groups of people, making them wear different symbols on their clothing for easy identification— anything from a red triangle to a yellow star. This reviewer is attempting to do the same thing; labeling anyone who happens to like the Nastragull saga with a scarlet letter of shame, accusing them of being sadistic sociopaths if they happen to like Pirates. This anonymous attempt to discourage new readers from purchasing my book was written by a typical totalitarian thinker*. Good examples of these sad creatures are the last two little bastards who have ruled the Northern part a certain Asian nation, one of whom threatened to start World War 3 back in the beginning of this year because someone from the West apparently had the audacity to turn off his access to computer porn, or some such...”   

Here is the review:

Brutal and Replusive, July 7, 2013 By spender1122 - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: NASTRAGULL (Pirates) (Kindle Edition)

If you are a sadistic pathological sociopathic cannibal or an admirer then this is for you. If you want a compelling story that entertains and uplifts don't waste your time.

My comment to spender1122:

Erik Martin Willen says:

There once was this very popular story about a group of larger-than-life heroes and villains. During the course of the story, an entire world was destroyed; murdering billions...and still, this story has hundreds of millions of fan worldwide. So, would you call the fans of Star Wars sociopathic or psychopathic?

Thousands of readers like and some love Nastragull: Pirates -- and for you to judge them as a group of "sadistic pathological sociopathic cannibal[s] or...admirer[s]" is not only very wrong; it also proves my point about totalitarian thinkers: If you don't agree with them, then they will judge and label you.

Thank you for proving my point so well. I also thank you for taking the time writing a review.  

 

Here is the “apology” from spender1122:

Thanks for the reply. You are right I judged and labeled others. That's not the man I want to be. Your book showed your craftsmanship as a writer and a storyteller. It is not my cup of tea. Best of luck to you. Thanks for listening.
