On page 519 about 5 posts down LMSA pasted a comment of JLE ranting about Deborah Dykstra's delay in putting COC back in print:
"...Where is your indignation at Deborah for taking Crisis of Conscience out of circulation for years..."
That was an asshole comment.
He did not mention that Deborah is not a publisher and may not have known where to start or might not have understood how much interest there was in the book.
Deborah inherited the copyright when Ray and Cynthia died.
I think the book may even have gone out-of-stock while Ray was still alive (?)
He gave no grace to Deborah when she eventually made a public statement that she had also been ill.
While Lloyd Evans made loud public statements criticizing Deborah for not doing something that she was never obligated to do, to my knowledge, Lloyd Evans did not make public to Deborah when she did make a public statement.
Not only was Deborah unwell with extended illness, when she did eventually see about getting the book updated and released again, she ran into ownership hurdles because someone (J. Lloyd Evans aka John Cedars) had taken it upon himself to publish the book as if he owned the rights. He even slapped stickers of his website on the cover of the book and leveraged the book to self-promote himself and his social media platform(s).
I believe he was even working on translating the book into other languages.
Does anyone remember seeing a public apology to Deborah for the damage he did to her?
He paid her $50.00? Big deal.
How much extra did Deborah have to pay lawyers to get the ownership cleared? How much did J. Lloyd Evans pay her for her extra legal fees to untangle herself from a mess he created?
How much did J.Lloyd Evans pay Deborah for her own time to deal with the mess?
Seriously, that was just another asshole comment.
