My, my; I've certainly run into some petty and vindictive, to say nothing of Orwellian, characters in my life, but I think Steven Slater takes the cake. Imagine it; nursing his little grudge for not being allowed to call me a fascist in public for about 4 years until he finally found a way to make me an unperson. How lucky I am that Room 101 is only fictive or I am sure he'd have nominated me for that, too.

In the first place, while I've made some minor efforts to eliminate the libels against me - one or two of which, if memory serves, began with B'rer Slater - I didn't originate any of the article. That was his first lie in this go round. Rather, it was done by an accountant and fan from the Atlanta area named John Jordan. I am sure the record can be checked for this, though I am not sure John's still alive. Last I'd heard he was in assisted living, I think following a stroke.

His second lie is that the thing's here as a promotion page. If I've sold as much as a single book from my wiki entry I would be very, very surprised. Book sales really just don't work that way, as near as I can tell. His third lie is that it's unsourced. Just check the sources for yourselves.

reference formatting

Apparently I am too stupid to figure out how to edit the text displayed after a reference for references 2 and 3. Can somebody help me out here and tell me how to insert custom text in a reference so it shows the text I want instead of just the reference number?Scout1067 (talk) 01:50, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination

If we are going to refer to his nomination for a HUgego why do we not also include allegation of vote rigging? This was a major accusation surrounding the sad puppies affair.Slatersteven (talk) 09:24, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

background

We really need some sources for his biography.Slatersteven (talk) 14:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
