I can understand you may have received some un polite messages, but you have received a lot of nice messages that you choose to ignore, I understand you can’t reply to them all , but surely you could find the time to reply with you commentshttps://chn.ge/2x9cU5u
So far this week I've been called idiotic, vile, disgusting, racist, prejudiced, talentless, ignorant, ugly, scum, foul, evil, mean, cruel... and those are the polite messages. My next book will be 100 Insults. #100dogs

I've been overwhelmed Micky. Many different opinions, so it's impossible to reply to everyone thoroughly. Of course I respect your views and I can take a few insults - but when my young daughter's life is threatened, it's gone too far. I hope we can agree on that.
-
Yes Michael I do agree with you, I’m sorry you have received this type of message about your family , it is uncalled for and does not solve any issues we have
-
Thanks Micky, that's good to hear.

What about 100 ways to beat a troll? You could have a lot of fun with it and turn this awful experience into something which makes you (and kids) laugh? Sod the bullies Michael. Life's too short.

100 Trolls has crossed my mind...

It could be very theraputic...

Indeed.

I want to support your beautiful book which we own and love. I am going to try everything in my power to buy as many copies as my tiny income allows in order to share the joy of your book with as many families as I can.

I for one am a bullie parent to Piglet, I run a page on Facebook with over 32k followers and I’m partially responsible to the response to the petition against you and Puffin Books.

Partially responsible for hate speech and death threats over a children's rhyming book. Well done
-
I suggest you read the rest of the tweets from me in this thread before you decide to jump to assumptions. Any book that depicts something in a wrong light and more, does that to impressionable children has gone too far. My aim is to try and reverse the damage done.
-
Mike, I get that you are passionate about the breed, I’ve been upset in the past when people call Dalmatians aggressive as mine are so sweet, but what you have done is lead a hate campaign against someone who only ever aims to bring joy to people through his drawings...
-
No Beth, I led no hate campaign, that’s an assumption on your part, I suggest you visit the page and read the post. What I wanted and still want is an amendment to the book to remove this part. I shared the petition on that basis and if you read the responses you will see that’s
-
As I'm at the receiving end of relentless abuse, I can assure you it IS a hate campaign.
-
Mike, amendment = censorship. What gives you the authority to decide the content of my book? Why not do something constructive instead and publish your own book? With 32K followers I'm sure it would a great success. That's how freedom of expression works.https://freedomhouse.org/issues/freedom-expression …

So you want to defend your right to spread inacurate information about a dog breed in a country where breeds perceived as agressive (pitbulls) are condemned. You're spreading hate too, against a dog breed. Think about that.
