I tried for almost a year and a half to get the Boston Review to take down posts written AS ME, but NOT BY ME. They were written by lgagal, who also goes by John Wesley Harding, gradgirl and jigglebelly. Two months ago, after complaining to their website host ~ BLUEHOST ~ finally, Furtman writes back, but he doesn't take them all down.
And talk about STUPID ~ the only reason I found more posts on Boston Review by the stalker was because FURTMAN emailed me, PROMOTING his rag of a journal. So, he thinks that after a year and a half of trying to get them to take down a stalker's posts, that I care about their journal? They think this is good business policy? They are so hungry for readers they think that I am going to buy their rag ~ after all this? If I still lived in Boston, I would have gone in there and really given it to them. I even told them in over a hundred emails I was from Boston and a writer.
And how many emails do I have to send to the snooty Boston Review about the posts written AS ME by the stalker ~ how many hundreds of emails do I have to send before they take the posts down? This so called "journal" received emails from me for over a year that a STALKER was writing posts on their website AS ME ~ and they IGNORED ME.
Ignored the fact, even though I told them, that the STALKER threatened to kill me, rape me and mutilate me and tried to destroy any way of my earning a living.
Today I find that posts by the STALKER are still up, so I emailed Furtman at the Boston Review, with the URL I found, and he is an ass. He writes back and asks me to email him the URL.
So much for the literati thinking they are so much more empathic and "for the people" than everyone else. I'm an actual person, not the abstract "over there" person who needs help. It's bad enough the FBI and the brain-dead NYPD do nothing, but when people in your own industry won't help, I am calling them out on it.
To the editor and to Will Furtman:
you are not above your readers.
decency would have made you answer me a year and a half ago ~
oh, and by the way ~ it is idiotic to have an article about:
what Eliot Spitzer thinks.
Give me a break.
