I thought it was recently public? He must have made it super-duper secret. Now he doesn’t have a public forum to rant on.
Couldn’t find his book on Goodreads but found this:
Is his book even allowed to be titled “Behind the Bit”?
Yes, we were waiting to see if he/they would figure that one out without us having to spell it out (literally). The same misspellings from so many “different” posters/reviewers is quite a tell. Also, it’s probably very easy to find out if anyone here was contacted by someone “from London”, or if that’s a big lie, as well.
Not that it’s worth pursuing anything related to this book, but damages don’t have to be monetary (bolding mine):
Defamation Damages
Once the plaintiff has successfully proved defamation, “general damages” are presumed. The plaintiff is not simply limited to damages reflecting his or her economic losses, but the mental anguish and other emotional distress that the law presumes to result from having your reputation harmed. Depending on what the plaintiff proves about the defendant’s intentions, and the type of defendant, punitive damages may also be awarded to the plaintiff.

That’s actually a really good middle grade series!
Ah, yes, one more self-proclaimed Christian, conservative, family values, right-wing, pillar of the community. Colour me not surprised at all.
He “lived” in strip clubs and “dated” strippers (bet that was costly ). And, of course, his nickname (which he gave himself just like maestro) has “god” in it.
His parents, wife, and daughters must be so proud.
I wonder how he could afford the strip clubs when he couldn’t hold down a job for very long. Maybe there’s more to the reason he “lived” in strip clubs that don’t have anything to do with the girls.
I was thinking how stressful that must be for his family that he bounces from one “job” to another, never sticking with one for long. That kind of lack of stability is really hard, especially on kids.
What do we have so far: media mogul, horse trainer, meat seller, mortgage broker, bounty hunter…
… pizza maker, bill collection agency
…plagiarist, copyright thief
It must be very emasculating for him to know that his wife is the breadwinner of the family. (Or family money). In any case, it must be very emasculating for him to know that he can’t support his family on his own.
His wife must be so proud.
OMFG! Polegod!! Move over Dr3ss@geGuru, here comes POLEGOOOOOODD!
The username Polegod seems to fit in the same category as the fish tank forum username JAWS69. It’s like he’s trying to create a persona of great, manly prowess to impress complete strangers online. Why? What happily married man who falls “more in love” with his wife each day, does that?
And “allegedly” hits on random horse women because “his wife is in a different postcode”. Allegedly.
He’s deffo the King of the False Statement, so 1) is covered!!
I need a showeer.
All his self-given nicknames seem to require some sexual reference (polegod, JAWS69) or that he is the absolute best (god, guru, maestro, master).
In the same way, I find it super cringe that he observes and compliments himself in ways only others are supposed to. For instance, the picture (taken my whom?) of him holding up a book in a staged way gazing at it in cartoonish seriousness and then fawning over himself about how, even though he’s the trainer, he’s still studying! LOLOL!!
You don’t make those flattering observations about yourself; others are meant to make them about you, if you warrant that kind of attention. Same with how he said RD was blown away by this kid (NP) sitting next to him soaking up all his knowledge. No, again, if RD had said he was blown away by some kid, that would be one thing. Or, even if another bystander had said, how kind of RD to indulge this kid who was so interested, that would be normal.
But you don’t make forced, staged, flattering observations and commentary about yourself. It’s just so pathetic, really, is the only word I can find.
I must say I was super impressed by how well I read and understood your post. It was such a good post I could have sworn I wrote it.
Sincerely,
