I noticed on her blog she's got something about the BFS blacklisting her or something... can someone explain what the situation is here? I was going to submit a story to her. All I know about her from online is that she's a very vocal opponent of Pacione and his ilk so she seems quite sensible to me...

Mr Theaker, you're mentioned by name on her blog, can you explain the situation for an unitiated one like me?

Oh, goody! Yet more undignified small press internet squabbling!

My squabbling is always very dignified...

There's a thread on the BFS forums (search for her name) which sets it all out. David Riley wanted me at first to change my mind but dropped it after getting to know her a bit better.

Her publishing company isn't officially blacklisted or anything, though.

I've been asked to add this response from David Riley (who isn't a member here) to Stephen's remark above:

"That isn't true. I already know her quite well. I dropped it to wait till after the BFS AGM when Stephen would be replaced as Acting Chairman. At some point I mean to put to the new committee that Janrae be allowed onto the Forum."

That's the only part I'm playing in this. I'd be grateful, perhaps along with other members here, if it was debated elsewhere. Perhaps where all parties can comment?

Christ, being part of this forum is like being a cast member of Boston Legal

Well, he said he would ask her about it before deciding whether to put it to a committee vote. She responded very angrily when he did, and he didn't ask the BFS committee to discuss it. My apologies to David if I misinterpreted that series of events.

I'm not moderating the BFS forums any more, so I'm sure Janrae will be more than welcome there now.

Well, divorced of context, it doesn't make much sense. I for one have never heard of Janrae Frank.

In context it makes even less...

Sorry it came up here.

No need to apologise, Stephen. You didn't bring it up.

I didn't hear from here before this thread, did a quick google and found out that she had once stepped on some overly long scientology toes, all this over -wait for it- a book review.
So she immediately got my sympathy !
