[quote=Anonymous]As a former teacher, yes, we tell the kids to be polite. But if two or three kids are acting up, does that mean that all of the teachers, the principal, and the superintendent are unprofessional, immature, naive, or have no idea what they are doing? This goes back to what I said before about painting all with the same brush based on the actions of a few. And like a teacher would with his/her students, I'm sure the editors dealt with the issues (assuming they were causing "drama") and their associates privately after-the-fact. As I said previously, that means their mistake (again, assuming you're correct) was trusting someone they should not have. Given your position, I assume you've never misplaced your trust in an employee, coworker, babysitter, significant other, or friend? Kudos to you, then. Personally, I don't know what it's like to walk on water.

BYW, I am NOT associated with the magazine, but I know one of the editors from college, as I already stated, so no need to write "you" when you mean "they." I was sent this link by a mutual friend who thought it was sad that her friend's magazine and character were being picked apart by anonymous haters who couldn't possibly know what they're talking about in regards to the magazine itself, since it had not come out yet, and clearly had something personal against some of the writers or editors.

Doubting it will do well - normal. Fine.
Concerns - also normal.
Not wanting to pay - I'm with you. I hate spending money on things before I've seen them. This is why I rarely shop online for clothes or home decor. Understandable.  
Thinking it's a bad idea - everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.
Knowing magazines are struggling I. General - you're right, that's a fact. You can tear them down or root for them based on that, it's up to you.
But acting as if you KNOW the content that has not been seen by anyone, or pretending to KNOW the magazine industry (Especially in regards to cost), or attacking the professionalism or knowledge or character of the editors (again, this refers only to TWO people, as "associate editor" is a nice way of saying "assistant," just as it is in the world of producing and any othe facet of the arts) is wrong, and reeks or bitterness based on personal bias.

My guess is that at least some of the online "haters" (not just here, but in general) are actually rejected authors. Jealousy is an ugly thing. [/quote]
