I believe you're uninformed about the number of people posting reviews that have not read the book - we're circulating several copies and they're on their way to their second or third readers.
It is also amusing to see you lecture us on the morality of biased reviewing on Phil's behalf when a glance at the reviews shows two postive reviews - one he seems to have written himself, and another one that looks like it was crapped by some PB monkey.
Looking at the reviews, the ones that seem to be by people that have read the book and used the Truename feature are even handed and not based in stupid forum politics . . . and they are rather negative.There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you. I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I will use my mistakes against you. There's no other choice. -

These jacks haven't read the book. I know that and so you do. At least have the honor to note that fact. Passing around a book! This raises hairs! If you don't own one, how can you be objective? I'm not lecturing you. You know I'm speak the truth. Did you read my review on this site?

What? Are you trying to say that if someone mailed you the book and you read it, that somehow dosen't count?

Actually posting a review requires only that you read a book, you don't have to own one to form an educated opinion on it.

Dude, bull****. . . . you know damn well you aren't the only person that's read that book. It's also possible SOME of those people come from PB or the Martialist, as well. . . the idea that every one of those negative reviews is from someone who hasn't read the book is unsuportable, and you know it.

Why does passing around the book or owning it have a damn thing to do with the objectivity of the book? That makes no logical sense. If anything, it SLANTS the objectivity of the book to require buying it for a review. People who aren't self publishing things actually send out copies to be reviewed, you know that right? Or are you under the impression roger ebert BUYS a lot of movie tickets?
I don't KNOW you speak the truth. I used to THINK you did, but now I'm changing my mind. I hope for your sake that this started as a game of devil's advocate, and you're only getting prickly because you got backed into a corner. . . because if you think Phil is seriously defensible, I don't know what the hell to tell you.There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you.

I know for a fact that you haven't read the book. I have not posted on Amazon. Just this site. Find it! Have you read the book? No! It hasn't had a enough time to make it to your punk ass. You are a liar!

You come into the thread saying everyone who posted a negative review didn't read the book...nope, sorry bud but it seems that the reviews are generally negative...common sense wins (for once)
P.S.- My ass is actually very well toned from years of practicing back kicks, thank you very much. -

What the hell are you talking about? If it's a thin book, it will ship as a letter rather than as a package, and will take only 3-5 days by regular mail, 2-3 days by Priority (for less than 5 dollars shipping), or overnight by express.
