Is there a list of authors who worked to shut the site down? I doubt I read books by anybody so clueless, but just in case, I'd like to know which authors not

Is there a list of authors who worked to shut the site down? I doubt I read books by anybody so clueless, but just in case, I'd like to know which authors not to buy.

  Also I'd like to point out that even on the forums where a lot of noise was made, there were plenty of authors who saw reason and tried to talk others down. http://jeannetomlin.blogspot.com/2012/08/lendink-and-twitter-mob.html?spref=tw http://jeannetomlin.blogspot.com/2012/08/lendink-and-twitter...

Someone on slashdot put together a list: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3035829&cid=40927681 http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3035829&cid=4092... As a side note, at least one of the authors did apologize -- and was instantly lynched in the comments http://www.digitalmediamachine.com/2012/08/what-happened-to-lendink-owner-explains.html http://www.digitalmediamachine.com/2012/08/what-happened-to-...

  The apology was pretty weak. "Oh, hey, I was one of the ones who attacked you, your site, host, business. You got shut down, even though you did nothing wrong… Sorry." I'm paraphrasing, but that was pretty much it. No regret, no "what can I do to help?", "I'll try to correct the disinformation I spread", just a literal "I'm sorry." The end.
