Someone commented on his free e-book by saying "meh", and he replied:
Note that this review not only is completely unhelpful with just the single word "meh", leaving me nothing as an author to do to improve... but also that this review was from the kindle edition, which is FREE. ChrisP got a free copy of my book -- intentionally offered that way at a loss of income to both me and my publisher -- and took the time to come here and give a one-word, one-star review.
Seems quite reasonable to me really (though perhaps he'd be better off just ignoring that sort of feedback). I didn't spend long searching this so perhaps he's reacted worse elsewhere.
- galfarragem 10y agoBad reviews are a contemporary version of book burning.
- fapjacks 10y agoYes, he does react poorly elsewhere to comments he should have ignored. For example in response to reviews calling him pedantic, it's almost like someone wrote him hate mail or called his child a name. I think it's in poor taste to take to Amazon to fight bad reviews that are mostly just someone's opinion.
