BAS Hall of Shame
Besides Martin Johnson-Pratt of Kulturefirst, I'd like to add another opportunist to the list, Anisa Tahir of Tahir Books as per a former BAS member who quit this site in disgust. Here's the email he sent me:

Marcia I dont even know where to begin. I'll start by saying I have been the victim of online publishing scams. Those people are sick stupid people who toy with their own lives. Stealing a book is a kin to kidnapping and if I EVER get my hands on ANISA TAHIR, (TAHIR Books) out of Atlanta GA... I don't know what I'm going to do!
Now, that being said, the site is SOOOO confusing and un-user friendly that I don't bother any longer. The theft of my novel was my last straw in internet busines. I no longer write (well accept for work that is) and I stick to doing live poetry.

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet!
I kinda wanted this…
