Well, this isn’t a surprise to us. We’ve seen so many of the bullies pull this kind of hypocritical nonsense before. John Scalzi, an author who has attacked and berated other authors for promoting/reviewing one another’s books without disclosure, breaks his own code of ethics and does exactly that:
Sigh. We could have seen it coming and we’re pretty sure there are more Bullies As Authors who do the exact same thing.
This is a good lesson actually. You will want to be wary of authors who chastise others for “BBA behavior” which is a fabricated term made up by the bullies and their “code of ethics”. Authors who do this are opportunists looking to curry favor and are, the majority of the time, guilty of the exact same “BBA behavior”, and usually much worse.
