Ghosts of Middle School Past

 

I put in a friends request to connect with a couple of editors from a popular, mostly new-age, publishing company, thinking nothing of it.  I have social site connections with numerous editors and publishers from a wide variety of publishing houses.  So when I made this request, it was not like I was some random character who would have absolutely no reason to connect with anyone in this field or line of work; we actually have numerous common connections.

Much to my surprise, not only were these requests rejected, both of these people blocked me!

Why?  I'm absolutley stumped, not to mention that my 'widdle feelings are hurt, and I feel like I've been black-balled.  It has also lowered my opinion of this publishing house, as it doesn't seem very friendly or open to new contacts. 

This is like a deja-vu moment from the halls of Junior High.

Being an outsider makes you a really good writer.
