Note to self: when you discuss haters hating, expect yourself to become a lightning rod for their hate. After all, that's what they do and now you are on their hate-dar.

Note to the haters: Your comments are being deleted, so don't waste your time. Use that hate energy somewhere more destructive.

The big irony is that part of what I have on the plate today is to work on my submission for a book that most or all of the haters are involved with. Kind of makes one wonder why one bothers, doesn't it? If it weren't for the fact that the one guy who is my primary contact is someone I really like and to whom I made this promise (and isn't one of the haters), I'd just bag the whole thing.
