People make "Carnaval" to find ways...

It was stated: "In other words, what has happened is that I give her a bad review and Armstrong struck back by accusing me of wanting to ban her writings"///

DO not know who is this Armstrong, but her argument is not only infantile but also her way of playing victim, in a hope of having others reading her books (AND FEEDING HER POCKETS), while incompetent, this "way" is retrograde and in my opinion, shows low grade professionally speaking.

Looks like those central and south American soap operas of cheap drama, to be honest..

In my opinion, people make "carnaval" and have their tongues burning to find ways to block and denigrate your work, Mr. Pipes.

I say to block, b/c although they sound legitimate when being in touch with you, and although they play serious and straight, once they hold total power over an interview and require 100 % exclusivity, sometimes they simply resolve not to present the importance of your existence and when inquired, they come with unacceptable and incongruent arguments.

How to prevent total legitimacy and journalistic apparent seriousness from playing straight while being vile, I would love to know.

<>Just feeling guilty for not tracking in time, in a couple of (two) days, enough alternatives.
