By the way, perhaps something has changed! I recently read some fine print on Lulu's site stating that if you accept one of their free ISBN's, then you accept that Lulu is the publisher of record of that work. I never saw that before the site downgrade. I just looked for it again and couldn't find it. It was a huge discussion. If you accept Lulu ISBNs, they are the publisher. But, they plan to filter all books. Not just those with their ISBNs.

Larika, The New York Times and The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times and the rest of their propagandizing ilk print lies every single day which cause untold damage, and yet I fully defend their right to publish whatever they want. I do not like what they publish, and I do not have to buy their product and I am free to advise people not to read it.
Likewise, I am confident that I would not like the books you and Ron seem so upset about, yet I still defend the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press to print them. I even defend the right of Anton LaVey to publish The Satanic Bible and The Complete Witch, even though I wish they did not exist, but they do, and that is the real and sometimes ugly world we live in.
I exercise my freedom to not buy them and my right to counter their claims, if I wish to do so. I do not need a nanny hovering over me, trying to protect me from unpleasant things I might happen to come across.
So, to answer your question, yes, print the books. I'm sorry if my libertarian attitude about it offends you, but there it is.

Maggie, The fact I have suddenly become NOT my own books' publisher is a little disturbing. The free ISBN's were a nice perk with Lulu, but now I see that it may have been a mistake, in the long run. It was a great learning experience, and you have been a very big help along the way. Thank you! If Lulu had not excommunicated us I might retain a more positive outlook, but obviously, things change. I suppose if I am to be master of my works' destiny I will have to move on to something else in future releases.
Sorry, Lulu. But I'm not the one who turned my back. Yes, I do feel disrespected by your cowardly approach to the problems you have brought upon all of us.
