pjthompsonYou may have seen this already several times, but you can't call scumbags to account too many times as far as I can see.
Ann Crispin and Victoria Strauss are righteous women who have worked hard to nail scumbag agents and scammers at Writers Beware, hosted on the website Absolute Write. One of the scumbags, BARBARA BAUER, didn't like the fact that her crimes were being called to public attention, so she started threatening everyone under creation and tried to get legitimate editors, et al., fired for outing her. When that didn't work, she applied pressure to the pathetic heap who ran the ISP hosting them who shut down AW with an hour's notice. More information can be found here.
So, to show Scumbag Bauer (#4 with a bullet) she can't silence the message, here's the list of the Top 20 Worst Scammers in the business. Repost it!
