Jon Del Arroz did nothing wrong. The fact that Larry Correia is acting like a triggered SJW calling for his cancellation over a joke JDA apologized for 4 years after the fact sounds suspicious.

Almost as if Larry has handlers.

It honestly wreaks of corporate handlers or alphabet soup meddling, and considering that Regnery published Larry's 2A book, I wouldn't be surprised.

What exactly did this "cancellation" consist off?

Kindly behave yourselves.

It's honestly kind of sad how Larry would destroy his own reputation just because of a slight that the perpetrator already apologized for.

He really shouldn't be throwing stones in glass houses, because if Baen is anything like it's parent company, it's probably doing the same distribution network juggling that Tradpub is known for doing to prop up it's numbers.

All of Larry's blanket accusations since 2019, where it's clear he has ulterior motives, because he is actively trying to get people to not work with Jon and because he has thrown NewPub under the bus on more than one occasion.

I'm a big name indy author and I've never heard of it. If it wasn't for Vox reposting part of this, I wouldn't even know it exists.

And Vox didn't link to the original context of Larry's remarks. That makes me suspicious, this is a standard SJW tactic, which further suggests Larry has a point.

"Hmmm, maybe the bloviating Cuckservative has a point."

NO HE DOESN'T.

Expand full comment

Nope. Considering that Larry refuses to share the context on his bone headed Gamma male rant, continuing to slander and lie, he is the exhibiting the SJW tactic.

Rationalism is a secularist lie anyway. ;^)

It's tough times in the mainstream publishing industry - not the golden ticket it once was, and they're under a lot of stress.

Yup. Galileo should have remained silent. Thankful that he didn't.

Jon's a mensch. Thanks for footstomping that fact, Hans

Larry and Brad need to stop the petulant behavior. Smacks of Ghostbusters 2016 when the studios started calling out their fans as toxic. Just stop it, dudes. Makes you look small.

These are not SJWs, so a behind-the-scenes apologies and forgiveness ought to work. Give Satan the sadz guys!

The Hidden Truth series is AMAZING!!!! I keep hoping Hans will write more... but in the meantime, I relentlessly check the ArkToons "The Wise of Heart" graphic's {heaves deep sigh} SOOOOOOO slow episodic releases. I KNOW serializing had a multiple decades history... but I NEED to see the next installment because it's SO gripping and enjoyable! (Yes, in fact, I DO open at least one Christmas present the day before... Wanna make sumthin' of it? {wink})

If you have not looked at Wise of Heart -- go do do! SO well done!

Please get these two in a bar so they can do a Burton/Reed bury the hatchet session.

I'm sure Jon would be willing to.

I’m so out of it lately so I know no details, but all I know is that I’ve known Jon since 2016 and he’s never been anything but gracious and helpful and a really solid guy.

Absolutely. That's my experience, too. Which is why I wrote the piece.
