Vent for Today

[Audrey]

I am always reading articles written by others. If I find what I believe is a great article, I'll share it on message boards with THE BIO 100% IN TACT.

I posted what I thought was a super article about a month ago. This post had 4 or 5 replies.

Today, the author posted and said "Audrey, thanks for putting my article here, but I wish you would've asked first"

Hmm the thread had almost 100 views and 4 or 5 replies. What was the problem? He was getting FREE EXPOSURE for his own website through his bio.

Ok...so I deleted my original post and the replies and now he'll get zero exposure. In addition, I'll never share another of his articles and should I see his article posted anywhere else I'll let folks know that unless they have his permission, he is not happy.

Not sure how he figures this is a better scenario????

Done with vent LOL

That's ridiculous.

Lori,

It wasn't here, it was on another board. I actually emailed the author and told him I removed his article. He never wrote back.

I've written about 6 new articles, all in rough form. I hope to release them all next week :)

Good for you Audrey! Geez - you've been busy.

I managed to get one blog post written yesterday :) LOL.

Spent most the day running around - eldest son fractured his ankle. :?

More his loss than anyone else's. I guess he doesn't see it that way.

I really enjoy your articles Audrey! You have incredible writing talent. :)

Now why on earth would he have a problem? More important.. WHY did he write an article if he didn't want it shared? I have only had this happen once but the author gave good reason. He had written an article about a scam website and it happens to be a BIG business one that a bunch of us have a problem with. Well turns out they were suing him and he didn't have the money to fight back so he was trying to get that article removed from the internet. He was VERY nice about it and everything.

I just can't imagine someone writing an article and then NOT wanting it to be shared... yeah.. that free advertising is just so hurtful :rolleyes:

ROFL Connie. I've not run into him again. He must've done a search for his article and found it on the board. He came, told me I should've asked first and posted nothing else.

I removed his articles and the comments and we never saw him again.

True to my word, I uploaded 3 new articles to ezinearticles.com this weekend.

I have days when my creative juices just flow and flow and I can write all day long. Then I have weeks where I can't come up with any new articles, new titles etc.
