Update on Nathaniel Hammel and RobinHood Press

By Katharine Swan On Thursday, February 15, 2007 At 2:51 PM

I received several comments and emails today regarding RobinHood Press and Nathaniel Hammel. (Thanks, by the way, to everyone who has gotten involved and shown their support!) I also discovered that the announcement (and the graphic next to it) has been taken down from his site. I'm not sure what precipitated that, but I hope it was other writers taking my suggestion and emailing him! :o)

Don't think that this means he has reformed, though - also this afternoon, I received an email from him in my inbox, still maintaining that he is right. Here's a sampling of what he had to say:

Don't be mad because there are people out there who agree with me.

Don't respond to this letter please, I have alot of wonderful people to be serving inspiration to, people who love art and writing not nick-picking

Aside from his spelling errors, his email reminds me of those employers who accuse us of caring about money instead of writing, simply because we want to get paid for our work. Clearly he hasn't changed his attitude one iota, no matter what he's done to his website.

Truly astounding! I think this guy is located somewhere in India or Pakistan where there is no regard for anyone's creative work, and no law to back it up. Despite his lack of grammar and syntax, he really thinks he's right, and so, I would say, anymore effort towards reforming him is just like running into a brick wall!

You know what they say in therapy: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Just let others know about this whacko's operation and then keep clear of this guy.
