hi andy.

well, my response to you on the blog site was deleted and I’ve been IP banned from that site, so you’ve got that going for you. I don’t think I’m interested enough to post via proxy servers, and besides, I don’t like posting Dune related under any name but SandRider. And for the moment, I’m bored with you anyway. Still, and trying to be civil here, I think you should understand what KJA, Brian Herbert, and the HLP have done and are doing to the Legacy of Frank Herbert. The Star Wars-style Franchise cash-cow is destroying that Legacy. Maybe you liked the Comic Book guy’s take on Dune. We don’t. We REALLY don’t. And we don’t like people who promote the new books, especially people who promot the new books while exhibiting zero knowledge of Frank Herbert. (That’d be you) Anyway, our purpose has been served - anyone stumbling onto that site while searching for Dune related stuff will find the jacurut forum’s link. That’s all we want anyway - equal time. (I go a little overboard with the personal venom, but then, I don’t like pretentious web-writing people (like you) who think they are some kind of great artist because they’ve got WordPress software.) But don’t let my crankiness and mean-spirited language dissuade you from taking a look at jacurutu, getting the background and truth on the HLP issue, and not posting foolish reviews again.

This is in response to this review of the new Dune book. Its amusing he wonders why I did not go over to Jacurutu site. Considering I never actually posted anything over there; one wonders why I would?

That being said he does actually have valid points. Alas, he seems to be unable to be civil in any of his writings which does rather lessen the effect.

Angry fan boyz (and girlz) ranting against my reviews are always amusing. I get quite a few over at Blogcritics.com, or rather Marty does. they are still mad at me over my review of the last Harry Potter book (clue I didn’t think it was the greatest thing every written).

This fool posted his rants on posts on several sites I frequent. Most of the time on posts not related to this subject. This one appeared under the New Delhi post below.

Oh he thinks Andrew Ian Dodge is pretentious pseudonym. I have told my parents this and they think its rather funny…considering it was the name they gave me when I was born.

I told him several times to come look and get some background.

[quote]Alas, he seems to be unable to be civil in any of his writings which does rather lessen the effect. [/quote]I can’t argue with that, but so what ?

[quote]Angry fan boyz (and girlz) ranting against my reviews are always amusing.[/quote]Andy’s easily amused - twice in this post. He was somehow amused with the death and destruction in the “Dune series” as well, but that was one of the comments he still hasn’t responded to.

[quote]This fool posted his rants on posts on several sites I frequent. Most of the time on posts not related to this subject. This one appeared under the New Delhi post below. [/quote]I posted on several of his “articles” for several days trying to prod him to return to the review, which he eventually did. The posts were of the “Blah-blah-blah. Never mind your hatred & fear of Islam; go defend your review of [i]Paul of Dune[/i]. I posted this comment on his “website” under the most recent post - he has “comments held for moderation” on so I knew he’d look at it. And he did. Duh. (I’m posting this on his site under today’s entry, some silly shit about semiautomatic weapons)(Andy has terrorists in his neighborhood. He’s seen them. He called MI6 or whoever, they told him to fuck himself and where’s your visa, anyway ?)

[quote]Oh he thinks Andrew Ian Dodge is pretentious pseudonym.[/quote]In the first comment on his review I said, in part : “You are not a “reviewer” in any sense of the word, just another attention-seeker with a keyboard, internet connection and pretentious false user name. Blah.” So maybe “Andrew Ian Dodge” is or is not his real name. Either way, it’s [i]still[/i] pretentious as all hell.

Take a look at the stuff on his site. No comments whatsoever. He’s writing this to himself.
Your writing your blog to yourself, Andy.

Email the “senior editor” at Blogger News Network, Simon Barrett zzsimonb@gmail.com,
ask him to delete your review of Paul of Dune, and I’ll call it even.
Post any kinda silly shit you want about heavy metal music and the threat of worldwide Islam,
but shill for the HLP, and I’ll be on you like stink on KJA’s books.

Just for record I never asked that you be IP banned. It was an editorial decision. You want me to censor myself on your say-so?
