SandChigger = (In)Famous?

OK, so just out of curiosity (I swear) I went to Amazon and looked at some of the reviews for Winds of Dune. And I found this:

"7 of 18 people found the following review helpful:
A must read for the sane only., August 5, 2009
By Prester Dilly - See all my reviews

"As the "Dune" story continues to grow into the ever-expanding saga of action, betrayals and discovery, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have been consistent in providing the main ingredient: Adventure.

I would highly recommend "The Winds of Dune" to all "Dune" fans who possess an open mind and will not spend countless hours comparing it to Frank's original works instead of simply enjoying it for what it is - a very good book.

Reviewers note - This review was written by a long-time fan of Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. While being a member of many fan sites hosted by the authors, the writer of this review has NEVER been offered payment or rewards/prizes by any of the authors. Any and all accusations which state otherwise are false and misleading and are designed for the sole purpose of harassing and/or discrediting the authors. Ronald Craig, (Sandchigger), has had an unhealthy, deep hatred for the authors of these books. Therefore, his bile should be taken at face value."

These people just can't handle criticism at all, can they? And I love the fact that he felt the need to include the whole "never been offered payment for my reviews" bit.

Sandchigger has his own cameo in Winds of Dune:
[i]Winds of Dune[/i], pg 232 wrote:"Just yesterday, Qizara security had seized a lunatic in the streets shouting that the wedding was "an unholy alliance of Bene Geserit Abomination and Tleilaxu ghola." Under interrogation, the man had implicated others, and provided credible evidence that there were deeper plots afoot against Alia and Duncan. But the man himself had been an inept fool, and had never posed much of a threat."

And if not that specific example, I'm sure he's in there somewhere. As is Freak, probably, and maybe some reference to Jacurutu as a whole.

I know this because that is exactly like something Kevin J. Anderson would do. In terms of maturity and emotional control, he is at the level of a 10-year-old girl.

Aha ... I am right that Conway is at the level of a five year old kid.

Qizara Security = KJA Special Forces?
Bene Gesserit Abomination + Tleilaxu Ghola = KJA and BH?

I read some more of the reviews on Amazon...keep pissin' in their Wheaties, Chig!

Just for the hell of it, I'm reporting that "review" as inappropriate. It's more personal attack than review and has no place in the review section. If he wants to attack critics, do it in Amazon's forums or comments sections.

Um ... inept fool, never a threat ... Is that how you see me, that you immediately thought this was me?

:tissue2:

:D

That's cool. Being thought an inept fool is the best possible cover. They never see you coming. :twisted:

Pussyter Dill is such a joy.

He hides behind a fake name and accuses me of cyberstalking, like he's of any importance whatsoever.

One of the world's great ball-less wonders! :lol:
