In which Lynn Hagen appears to have been caught plagiarizing from Raythe Reign.
Some great insight into what happened and why she is so wrong.
And this one is good, too.

Hale's manipulative behavior and crazy pride is giving me a headache.
This whole thing frightens me. I've had a few angry messages sent to me from authors pissed off over my negative reviews. But I certainly never expect one to drive to my house, call me and threaten me.
The fact she seems to not get how very wrong she was is boggling. Even if Blythe slammed your book wrongly, YOU FUCKING STALKED HER! THAT'S A CRIME!
And because of all this, Blythe has shut her Goodreads account down to only friends seeing her stuff. So I'm no longer allowed to read her reviews and see her updates like I used to. And I certainly wouldn't blame her for rejecting my friend request, since I am an author and she's been stalked by one of my kind. I feel so bad for her. And I hope she knows we're not all like that.
Authors: How many times do I have to tell you, not everyone will like your damn book!
I dislike the word Islamphobia too, when I criticized this fucking shit religion Islam that stoned raped girls and women to death, or forced them to marry their rapists.
Fuck Allah. Fuck Islam. I hate religion and religion that spread religious bullshit to harm human pissed me off.
Now back to the article.
Salman Rushdie said,
"“A word I dislike greatly, ‘Islamophobia’, has been coined to discredit those who point at these excesses, by labelling them as bigots. But in the first place, if I don’t like your ideas, it must be acceptable for me to say so, just as it is acceptable for you to say that you don’t like mine. Ideas cannot be ring-fenced….”
“And in the second place, it’s important to remember that most of those who suffer under the yoke of the new Islamic fanaticism are other Muslims….
“It is right to feel phobia towards such matters. As several commentators have said, what is being killed in Iraq is not just human beings but a whole culture. To feel aversion towards such a force is not bigotry. It is the only possible response to the horror of events.”
Poor man Rushdie. Forced into hiding.
That is what society lost when they let those religious deluded who could get away with murder in the name of their delusion.
