Pats argument RE. Goodreads.

[Username]

Pats argument is pointless his lawyer stated in California it might be difficult to prove someone read his book or not and then left a review. How the fuck do you prove beyond doubt someone read a book? I’ve watched movies I forgot I saw and read countless I don’t remember much about.

Pat only wants to see reviews from verified purchasers. It’s not how it works, your books are out in the world and people are entitled to think they’re the scribblings of a moron. I can read it in the library or borrow it and still review it as shit (McDonald’s in space is immature and derivative).

It’s not the reviewing public’s fault your books are shit.

The pedophilic SFWA wants only good reviews praising them and telling them they're so smart and talented. Everyone else is an alt right Nazi.

since when is it illegal to rate a book you havent read? lol rick you cray cray my dude

I have never read his books I just review them

The argument in-essence is that it isn't a consumer relationship, but I'd argue that I've read enough of the book in posted screenshots to know I don't like it.

I left an honest review of his book and used examples of better works to show why his book is awful. I pointed out the “Fonald Plump” character which is not only lazy and Hack, it also extremely dates the work. I used a much better and successful book from Mario Puzo called “The Godfather” that features a character based on Frank Sinatra and his long-rumored mob ties. Of course Puzo didn’t make it beat-you-over-the-head obvious it was Frank with a hack name like “Hank Pinatra” because it insults your audience and shows you think they’re stupid and can’t get the subtle hints.

Of course Pat the Pig cried and oinked to good reads to remove my review. I did not insult him, call him fat, etc but used examples from his own book and why it’s poorly written and he said that’s a “fake” review even after referencing his own work. He’s a big fat baby and has zero case for his law suit, this “fighting” of reviews you don’t like is along the lines of the 1st amendment which is a fight you can’t win. But then again he’s a fat fascist who believes in removing speech and people he doesn’t like. Just like that Hitler fella.

I can kinda get it when the review says shit like the Xus and Borg Duros, but Pat named John Does that just said his book sucked, how the fuck do you do that and expect someone to take your suit seriously

“Hey man, what are you in for?”

“I gave a bad review to a book I didn’t read”

“DEAD MAN WALKING!”

I get that but I have read and have countless books in my whole house that I didn’t buy or if I did have no proof of purchase some were still shit though. It’s a weak argument was my point,that and Pats very,very fat.

Maybe they shouldn't have hired a guy who's main experience is with traffic court and not nuanced first amendment internet law.

To be fair I gave Avatar a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes and James Cameron’s lawyers haven’t stopped suing me since. Stephen Kings been sniffing around to since my Shining review on goodreads.

Fat Pat also reviewed his own books (five stars, child) and other of his cadre of loser friends also gave it five stars well in advance of release. I would like to see proof that ugly old Cat Rambo slogged through his dogshit book before her glowing review. I never left a review on his terrible books but I know they are crap and I would have no problem telling the world that it’s derivative garbage if it wasn’t so obvious.

“Hey man, what are you in for?”

“I gave a bad review to a book I didn’t read”

“DEAD MAN WALKING!”

Even the Nuestro Familia would stop dead in their tracks if they heard you utter those words

Meanwhile, the 5 star reviews by people prior to the book being released are fine.

FUCK YOU SFWA PEDOPHILES, WE'RE GONNA BANKRUPT YOUR ORGANIZATION.

I just can't wait until GR opens Pat's books back up for reviews, I know a guy from Reddit who wants to leave reviews and his avatar picture will leave you all ribless.

 

[Clint Ruin]

his avatar picture will leave you all ribless.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's gonna have grainy resolution

Not at all, sysadmins living in NYC can afford better cameras than Rick attaches to his half of the house, the picture's quite clear.

@ChicopeeChip oof that avatar is rough.

Who cares if you even read it? Its not illegal to leave your opinion on a piece of media.
