@GreeterDan BUT THEY PAID YOU RIGHT?!?! :) -
@avantgame Yeah, I suppose they did. Hard to remember, it was so long ago. -
@GreeterDan I get doing a one-off, but asking someone for 800 words/week for FREE is ridiculous. -
@avantgame Agreed. Especially for someone with your track record, book, etc.

@avantgame I think we'd love to see your response. -
@turnislefthome I was polite:""This is a platform, not a freelance assignment, so it is unpaid" does not interest me as a proposition." -
@avantgame Good for you. Nicer than I probably would've been.

@avantgame if you shoplift a copy of TIME Magazine and then share your copy with your friends, is it the same kind of free promotion? -
@avantgame By that logic, they should be happy, you’re giving their platform exposure! :D
