Good day all. I wrote up a post regarding<\/a> the, hopefully, temporary, shut down of the Baen\u2019s Bar forum. The person who wrote up the, in my unschooled opinion, libelous posting, Jason Sanford, has managed to royally piss off everyone on The Bar, and quite a few Baen Authors of all political stripes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When I say all political stripes, I mean people who are flat out socialists to people who make Genghis Khan look like a political pansy. I\u2019ve already mentioned Larry Correia<\/a> of Monster Hunter Nation<\/a> fame who started by carpet bombing<\/a> Sandfart. We also have our Baen Socialist, Eric Flint who fired a few virtual rounds at Sandfart from his blog<\/a>.We also have may other Baen Authors who are fixing bayonets and are in the process of skewering the lying weasel.<\/p>\n

We start with Michael Z. Williamson who called in a Time on Target strike on the loser with his blog, The Sacred Cow Slaughterhouse. He was responding, apparently to Ms. Weisskopf being removed from an engagement at Worldcom. I will be honest and state up front I don\u2019t know anything about it. (I don\u2019t go to conventions) There is a backstory to Worldcom, Baen Publishing and Ms. Weisskopf. The inestimable Larry Corriea, who knows far more about it then I, wrote up a post on what happened<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Returning to Mr. Williamson\u2019s remarks regarding the two legged turd known as Jason Sandford, Mr. Williamson passed on some remarks from the gentleman referred to by Sandfart as the victim of a racist attack, Arun Pradhu. Quoting from Mr. Williamson\u2019s post<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Behold, Jason Sanford, who\u2019s huge on Patreon. Well, he had 144 subscribers. Maybe he has a few more now.\u00a0 His Amazon sales rank is in the 2 million to 4 million range, so he\u2019s sold maybe 50 books, ever. He\u2019s not even a wannabe, he\u2019s a nevergonnabe. <\/b><\/p>\n

He claims and pretends to be a journalist, and went into a lengthy \u201cinvestigation\u201d of Baen\u2019s Bar, to find something to be offended by.<\/b><\/p>\n

He was actually able to find someone being called\u2026The Swarthy Menace!
\nThis, he claims, is an indication of racism.<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019ve known the person in question for 15 years, so let\u2019s give some \u201ccontext,\u201d so beloved of \u201cliberals,\u201d to this name.<\/b><\/p>\n

The nickname came about when Arun waded into spacebattlesforums (which most of us call \u201cspacebabies,\u201d because it\u2019s a cesspit of ignorant, immature, basement-dwelling poseurs and wannabes), and textually destroyed someone who was criticizing Kratman\u2019s military expertise with snide comments about his \u201calleged\u201d career. Which is all real.\u00a0 The incelcucks love to go after Tom, and to a lesser extent myself and John Ringo, stating we \u201cclaim\u201d to have been in the military, when there are plenty of pics of all three of us in the field, and Krat even has professional papers on file with the War College. <\/b><\/p>\n

I recall the Spacebabies incident. I actually wandered into the Spacebabies forum to see what all the fuss was about. I quickly left and then set fire to my computer. It was the only way to fully disinfect it. Continuing:<\/p>\n

He emerged victorious, and someone even tried throwing the \u201cwhite privilege\u201d epithet at him, which is hilarious, him being neither white nor liberal.\u00a0 Kratman dubbed him, and he wears the name with pride.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, Arun also uses the name \u201cSwarth Vader.\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Arun is in fact from India, which makes him:<\/b><\/p>\n

A POC<\/b><\/p>\n

An Asian<\/b><\/p>\n

A South Asian<\/b><\/p>\n

An educated technical professional<\/b><\/p>\n

A minority religion by US rules (Hindu, even though there are 700 million of them).<\/b><\/p>\n

So I\u2019m not sure where a pasty white liberal racist American of privilege gets off questioning how the man likes to be addressed. But Arun is pissed as hell at this racist twat using him as a poster child. <\/b><\/p>\n

Swarth Vader is pissed, and communicated with Mr. Williamson regarding the christening of the Swarthy Menace. Since he is in India, I\u2019m not sure what Mr. Pradhu can do in a legal sense, however, he might want to consider contacting the employers of the pasty faced white liberal racist and speaking with them. (More on that later in this post) May the Swarth be with you Arun, Always.<\/p>\n

Then we have Matthew Hopkins<\/a> who did some real digging into Misturd Jason Sandfart and came up with a great deal of very interesting information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He began by digging through the loser\u2019s \u201cexpose\u201d and in pretty short order, ripped it to shreds. He has also found out who Sandfart works for, (apparently, unlike people such as Eric Flint and Larry Corriea, he can\u2019t make any money at what he calls writing), and posted the contact information on his blog. He has reached out to all the people involved, including Sandfart for comments. None seem to have been forthcoming.<\/p>\n

Reading through the comments of Mr. Hopkins Blog, it seems that Sandfart is beginning to feel the heat of his misrepresentation of Baen\u2019s Bar. Although I haven\u2019t looked, (And honestly, can\u2019t be bothered), it seems that Jason Sandfart has locked down his Twitler account. I gather that a few Barflies who have yet to be banned by Twitler logged in and replied to his tweets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Among other problems with Sandfart\u2019s hit piece, besides things like facts, the truth and whatnot, is his not knowing anything about the publisher, Toni Weisskopf. It seems that Sandfart decided to practice a little \u201cGender reassignment\u201d on Ms. Weisskopf and referred to her as \u201cTony.\u201d Another Barfly in Mr. Hopkins comments section noted that Sandfart changed his hit piece and \u201cCorrected\u201d the gender reassignment, and didn\u2019t bother to note that he had made a mistake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that Mr. Hopkins has so thoughtfully provided contact information for Jason Sandford\u2019s employers, and other interested parties. You should reach out and inform them of Jason Sandford\u2019s posting and what his misrepresentation of the truth has done and what he is trying to do. (I believe he is trying to force Baen Publishing out of business)<\/p>\n

If you do contact these people, be polite. Say and do nothing that is rude, obnoxious and certainly nothing that even looks like it might be unlawful. We want to make things right by Ms. Weisskopf and Baen Publishing, not to mention the hundreds of Barflies Sandfart has harmed with his accusations, not make things worse. (Which is why I won\u2019t be reaching out to the people listed. I\u2019m far to angry)<\/p>\n

The Progressive Totalitarian Left has decided to try and \u201cCancel\u201d Baen Publishing. It\u2019s time to turn the tables on them and \u201cCancel\u201d Jason Sandford, using every LEGAL<\/strong> tool in the box. And let me stress, LEGAL!<\/strong> No threats, no intimidation, nothing of that sort of thing. If you hear others talking about unlawful activities, take them aside and tell them to put a sock in it.<\/p>\n

Finally, here are a few other blogs I’ve found referring to the assault on liberty and The Bar by the barking moonbats.<\/p>\n
