Logos - we need to talk

Randy Kyle

Here I am, minding my business surfing through Faithlife eBooks to buy books I don't need, and I stumble across a Book on Samuel l. Jackson. Warning - the title is profane, so don't click if you would be offended (I had to shorten the link) https://rb.gy/crirt9 .

My questions are: how exactly does Logos/Faithlife ebook publishing work? Is this all automated, and there is no human review? Even over titles, much less subject matter? And more strategically - how would allowing the publication of any topic support the mission of Faithlife?

I made the mistake of getting this:   The Calpa & Notes Pertaining to a Panel in Salon D

It contains implied extremely perverted porn.  I expect to get it removed from my account. 


In fairness, I could have been informed of that possibility because the Logos Store sales pitch includes this link (which I should have followed before buyiung):

John Norman's Chronicles of Gor - Welcome - About Us (gorchronicles.com)

If you don't wish to follow the link, this excerpt should give you an idea--decide for yourself:

As most of you know, there is some controversy over John Norman's Chronicles of Gor series, but is it deserved? The most common accusation we hear is that John Norman is a misogynist who advocates the subjugation, physical abuse, enslavement, and rape of women. Another common complaint is that John Norman's books are poorly written trash with no literary merit whatsoever. As the title of this essay suggests, I believe these unfavorable characterizations are due to misconceptions about John Norman, his purpose in writing the Gorean saga, and the books themselves.

We've come a long way, Baby, since Dracula.
