Michael Crook

[thetreble 19]

Are any of you aware of this young man? He is one of the most controversial bloggers on the internet, and has brought attention to himself on more than one occasion when he has accused certain parties of defamation and plagiarism on his part.

He is essentially a loner who sits in his Southern New Jersey place of residence and writes incredibly horrible blogs about people, often those who have experienced a tragedy. Earlier this year, a friend of a friend died when she fell off the 4th floor of an parking garage in Atlantic City. He basically said that she deserved to die for being so stupid.

Here is his site

He is a human being desperate for attention and will say anything to get it.

I wrote him an email once that basically stated as a writer I was ashamed that someone like him also considered himself an artist. He never wrote me back because there was nothing he could really say to it. It turns out that he actually pays to publish his own books. There are self-publishers online where you pay a certain number of dollars to have them print your books, but they are never given a ISBN number. (which is an internationally recognized # given to a book once it is published and put up for commercial use)

Nah, I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of going to his blog and read his stupid comments. One less slimy human being in my life.

just because he's misunderstood that does not make him an artist.
