You are more than welcome to bring it to the board

You are more than welcome to bring it to the board, however, your whine was confusing.  You whined about the specific negative publicity the book brings when the only negative publicity from the book was found on message boards from people posting it because outside of these boards virtually nobody is even going to read that book nor bring JBII publicity related to it in any form.

Either the negative publicity really doesn't bother you, or you're a masochist.

Just making an observation -- I don't mind if somebody posts the book.  Based on the author's previous book flops, he could use all the advertising he can get.
