hey Gardner
I wrote this book. I'm sure nobody will ever consider publishing it because all the agent types are from new york and my book says the forbidden word - the n word. I'll need an agent's confidence first. It's an interesting read. It's all complete though the second half might need a bit more rewrite and revision.
Do you know anyone or have any advice? I think I'll have to write a normal book to get an agent's attention first hahaaha

Bad take. It’s only ever CotC that’s memed. F Gardner has tons of books. But CotC is the one that’s spammed and has been for several years. If Gardner was actually behind it wouldn’t you think he would talk about his other books? The F man has new books that haven’t been around for years like CotC has been.

It's obviously just you, Frank. After your usual sperg-out shill-spam like this, you get banned, and then literally no one mentions you, or talks about you, until your ban expires. And you're too stupid, and lacking in self-awareness. to realize how obvious you are. The only response is to report and ignore.

>Saul was a Jew. He was a man. Saul was a Jewish man. He wore a Star Of David on his chest. He wore a yarmulke on his head to proclaim his Jewishness. He looked in front of him. At the synagogue.

"Well, I guess since the door has a knob that must be how you open it. I've seen people open doors that way, so I'm sure it'll work. I'll just reach over and twist the knob and when I hear the click, I'll know I can pull the door open and then go inside this room."

"Gardner is a developmentally-disabled alcoholic who is supported by his overly indulgent mommy and daddy, despite being 34 years old, and would be homeless and dead if not for them.
With the advantages he was born into, he could have soared to the limits of his skills, talent, and effort, yet this pathetic state is all he could attain.
He was also busted for paying for thousands–THOUSANDS–of fake reviews on Amazon and GoodReads. Using mommy and daddy's money, of course.
He's been kicked off of nearly every major web site out there, either for fraud or for shill-spamming.

He tried to run for political office, but was too corrupt and incompetent even for Chicago.
