✦ Synopsis

Christopher Priests short book on the subject was written more than
twenty years ago in the spirit of investigative journalism, and treated
the matter as one of professional concern. Even as long ago as that, Mr
Ellisons unfinished project had become scandalous. Priest contacted
many of the victims direct and assembled a collection of letters,
reports, personal accounts and experiences, and from these mounted a
dispassionate account of the rudeness, inefficiency and waste of time
that have characterized dealings with Mr Ellison.

The project will never be published in printed book form Mr
Ellisons rights to the material expired years ago so Priests
account(which campaigned for Mr Ellison to abandon his lazy and
bullying ways) now has historical interest only. It remains the only
published critical account of the saga of incompetence and untruths.

On publication, an attempt at a lawsuit of course followed. Mr
Ellison is someone who never misses a chance to proclaim his commitment
to free speech, except when the freedom is exercised about him.
