Unfunny, Uncouth, and Unread

"Ain't it funny, the way people act when they make a little money?"

Mary Janice Davidson, Authors Behaving Badly repeat offender, is at it again. This time she attacked Indida. I am posting highlights of the comment but follow the link to see it in its entirety.

MJD writes:

Stop writing? Oh my dear, not even if you stuck a gun in my ear. Which,
given the frequency and venom of your cyber-tantrums, wouldn't surprise me.
Anyone who works herself into a slavering rage so easily probably has felony
assault on her to-do list


She follows with:
As someone mildly concerned for your health (your blood pressure must be on
the moon! do have your local G.P. give it a check; I fear you might stroke out
if we queen bitches don't burst into flames at your command) I tried to quell
the giggles as I read your tantrum du jour.



These comments offended me. Implying that someone has criminal tendencies, hoping someone experiences personal injury and poor health. What kind of person is this? Normal people don't behave in such a fashion. Sane people don't spew maliciousness to the point of being downright evil. As my mother would say, "There has to be a demon in her".

I wasn't going to say anything at first since this isn't my fight. I felt pointing out this behavior would just give MJD the attention she so obviously craves. But then I realized that by not speaking my mind, I was allowing myself to become subjugated by these writers. We need to let these individuals know that this type of behavior is not ACCEPTABLE. It's not cute, it's not funny. It's just WRONG.

MJD has repeatedly made reference to her blue collar roots. She seems to have confused blue collar with trash. Blue collar folk are simple, hard working people who may not have a lot, but are grateful for what they have. Blue collar people may not have a lot of formal education, but they do have a deeply ingrained sense of right and wrong--qualities MJD obviously lacks. While I am hesitant to cast aspersion on the rest of MJD's family, I will say that her comments have led me to the conclusion that SHE is pure filth.

Her final statement:
I'm the Queen Bitch over here in the corner, the one saying "Ha. Ha. HA." while she reads her bank statement.

That may be true for now, but how long will that last? How long before readers become disenchanted with MJD's personality? Every time she runs off at the mouth, more and more readers vow to never buy her books. How long before it begins to reflect on her bank statement? Karma is a strange thing. You never know how or when your past transgressions will come back to bite you in the butt.
