Well, time to deal with some more "texting" and "vague" allusions to
certain members of this forum.
Barbara,

David, some people are so thick, don't you agree? I have never bothered much with promoting my books, other than to let people be aware that they are there, and what aspects of the Robin Hood dickipoggy they cover .
...And then suggesting people buy them = advertising.
Quote:
They don't call me Buy My Book Lady Princess Your Majesty Holiness etcetera etcetara and so on and so forth, bank card details and cheques made payable to Dickipoggy Press Ltd! Postage extra!
So you instead use a forum to advertise it and clam up when you're asked about its contents and tell people to "buy the book". Yeah, that's
totally different!

The book on the Robin Hoods Grave Conspiracy wont line my pockets for sure, however well it sells, but it is an interesting book apart from MY BIT --oops sorry for promoting it! Also I may as well mention by way of promotion that I have heard from RM that the film may well be out in the near future whatever that means, but I have on e mail that it has not and never been stopped because a certain tempermental leading man threw a wobbler and walked off the set!
Promote, promote, promote.
Last I checked, Barbara, this is a
forum, not a marketplace.
So, I'll ask you again: who's the orchestrator of this big conspiracy surrounding the alleged grave of Robin Hood? Why would there even be a conspiracy concerning it, anyway? What's the big deal?
Dave,

You have to remember that all these allegations about 'promotion' are only the assumptions of just one person who has already been PROVED to be totally wrong here.
Wrong. The promotion's still been going strong. Hell, both you and Barb have been doing it in your last coupla posts.

At first he accused myself of being in 'colusion' with yourself to publish this book, when I knew nothing about it until the American publishers contacted me at the last minute to verify a couple of facts.
Well, Dave, you have been in collusion concerning her book (not even a book, which you got wrong, but an article for
Paranoia, going by previous postings on the matter), just by virtue of helping her promote it and continuing your "discussions" on here, which should really be taken to PM.
Hahaha, yeah, knew nothing about it...yet you were pretty keen to actively "discuss" (promote it) yourself. Strange, that. Oh, and especially considering the fact that part of the article deals with you, Barb and co. trespassing on private property to exorcise the ghost of a legendary outlaw.

Originally he was saying the BPOS were the real publishers, if you remember. Then he was demanding that I (or you) publish the author and the title here, whilst at the same time accusing us of using the Board here for 'advertising' when we hadn't even given any details. That takes some beating in hyporcrisy!
I did suggest BPOS was behind it, yes. After all,
wouldn't be the first time that a forum had been used as part of a laboured "discussion" with your friends, to promote such merchandise. You're not even above giving reviews of your
own books, under
a different sign-in name.
But, I'm happy to stand corrected and I can at least admit when I'm wrong, rather than cover it up with layer upon layer of deception.
And yes, I was asking Barbara to provide more details on the book. Barbara was certainly engaging in advertorialism. I stand by that. When you promote a book, claim it as a "
news update" and then not disclose your own contribution to it (until busted by a slip-up), that
is advertorialism.

Which is just another reason I ignore his asinine claims. He's obviously pursuing some weird fixation and its a waste of time trying to reason with people like that.
No, I'm correcting your errors...and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that they're just merely errors and not outright personal attacks and fabrications.
But then again, I also previously had to point out what "research" means...to a guy who's been conducting "psychic investigations" for forty years. So, this shouldn't be a big surprise.

I like to think I left such 'school boy arguements' behind me in my schooldays. He is obviously 'stuck' there, so just leave him to pursue his fantasies! There's not a lot more you can do when confronted with nonsense like that!
That's right, Dave,
I'm stuck in schoolboy days, meanwhile your and Barb's catty "banter"/personal attacks, are
totally mature.
