It's a very good subject. Wish I'd thought of it, but, to be honest, without a history of writing on business and marketing, I probably wouldn't have got anywhere much.
Incidentally, about the Amazon figures you quoted on another thread, how much do you know about how they are calculated? More than I do, perhaps. I've been watching the amazon.co.uk figures with interest (in the case of my book, more interesting so far than amazon.com) and trying to align them to real amazon sales.

QUOTE(thekohser @ Thu 12th November 2009, 5:49pm) These must be the current PoetEntity socks, plus our "Happy Drinker" ilk.
I see the logic. Obiously, nobody in their right mind could possibly be other than ecstatic about a book by Greg Kohs Thekohser, so if anyone doesn't vote that way he justifies himself by claiming that it must be some bogeyfigure. I would not deign to take part in this "poll" and I do urge those who voted in this apparently trollish way to explain why.

I've experienced in previous times here on WR, the actual effects of the PoetEntity "ganging up" on me with socks for a community-esque hate fest. I see you're being a dick and using my surname again on this forum, with the cutesy-pie strikethrough, even though that will get picked up by search engines, just the same. This is why you're hiding behind your anonymity -- so that you can be an arrogant, cowardly prick, without having to suffer the consequences of mutual review of your reputation. Enjoy!

Yes, I've been ganged up on in a poll here too, so I do sympathise. However, there is an alternative explanation. If you keep having silly polls, people will react by either ignoring them or giving votes that they think will not be what you want. Who started the poll where the alleged ganging up occurred?

I hadn't realised that you were so thoroughly converted to the realisation that you should not have your real name on this board.

Yes, I've been ganged up on in a poll here too, so I do sympathise. Thing is, there's no suspicion that anyone used sockpuppet accounts to stack any votes against you in that poll. I can't help it if you're just that unpopular.However, there is an alternative explanation.

I hadn't realised that you were so thoroughly converted to the realisation that you should not have your real name on this board. Another failure to comprehend by Happy Drinker. I don't mind having my real name used on this board. I find it offensive that you would be allowed to use it. There's a distinction, and while you may not appreciate it, I don't care. You are an antagonist who chooses to hide behind a cowardly cloak of anonymity. I have every right to ask you not to use my surname in discourse on this site. You may choose to ignore my request, if you want; at which point, I would be entitled to bring my complaint to the site's managers. It's up to you, you sniveling coward.

May I object most strongly to the way Thekohser has inserted things into the quote as if they were things I had said. QUOTE(EricBarbour @ Fri 13th November 2009, 10:35pm) Yep, it does look an awful lot as if Drinker is PL.....
I see. Anyone Thekohser doesn't like has to be framed. Ironic, isn't it, that one of the charges against Poetlister was that he/she was such a strong supporter of Thekohser that he/she allegedly voted twice for Thekohser in the WMF elections. I assume that he would like those votes struck off his total.

I assume that he would like those votes struck off his total. As far as WR is concerned, there was no such "charge" at all - that would have actually been a reason to forgive him. Frankly, given the amount of work the Poethorde put into Wikipedia, he probably should have been given at least three votes, not just two. (He put a great deal of work into WR, too, of course, but we actually gave him four votes...)

How many sockpuppets did you have on Wikipedia? How many do you have now? And of course, on the critical question we came out level in that poll last time I checked. QUOTE Whose fantasies do you care more about? Happy Drinker (identity unknown) [ 8 ] [28.57%] Thekohser (Gregory Kohs) [ 8 ] [28.57%] Their fantasies elicit equal care [ 12 ] [42.86%] QUOTE(thekohser @ Sat 14th November 2009, 6:04am)
Do we have a policy here about deliberately misquoting people? And how did I, previously one of his supporters on Wikipedia, create the situation that Thekohser made a series of unprovoked attacks on me, including threats of physical violence? Does he wish to make me regret my support for him? This post has been edited by Happy drinker:
