Aww, man, William Sanders doesn't even know what professionalism looks like, does he?
And he adds another new, wonderful word to our vocabulary. It's a screencap, because the original page was taken down (and thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nihilistic_kid for the link).
Pantiwadulous. Seriously? That's the word he's going with? Pantiwadulous? Oh, the internet is going to eat him alive for this one. Before he was just taking an angry, righteous pounding. Now the fail macros are gonna start pouring in, because he's officially lost the right to be taken seriously anymore. I plan to Nelson Muntz my way through the whole thing, because he deserves whatever the intertubes can dish out.
And can I just say that he's also officially lost any right to bitch about someone publicly posting business correspondence from him? This trumps public posting. It trumps it like Donald's about to come in and start firing people.
Is it wrong that I'm laughing so terribly hard at him now? At first I was really angry, and honestly, I still am. He's made our entire genre/community look bad, he's hurt a lot of people, he's put writers in a tough position (and yes having to decide whether to pull a story from a publication and possibly violate a contract and take away professional writing credit(s) from their resume IS a tough position).
But come on. Pantiwadulous? Tell me you didn't ROFL in your waffles.
I definitely hope that anyone who has stories still with Helix will now even more strongly consider pulling them, despite potential losses, because now it's not just a matter of principle. I think Sanders is actually losing his mind. It's now probably a really good idea to get out of the blast radius, because I think this is about to go nuclear.
ETA: Is it just me or does anyone think that the Award for Most Wadded Panties On the Internet should actually go to William Sanders himself?
