Is there a list of authors who worked to shut the site down? I doubt I read book...

Someone on slashdot put together a list: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3035829&cid=4092...

As a side note, at least one of the authors did apologize -- and was instantly lynched in the comments http://www.digitalmediamachine.com/2012/08/what-happened-to-...

The apology was pretty weak.

"Oh, hey, I was one of the ones who attacked you, your site, host, business.

You got shut down, even though you did nothing wrong… Sorry."

I'm paraphrasing, but that was pretty much it. No regret, no "what can I do to help?", "I'll try to correct the disinformation I spread", just a literal "I'm sorry." The end.

Here are a few, check the comments under the top post. Looks like Cassandre Dayne, Wendy Baker Smith, and Penny Baker for starters. https://www.facebook.com/pages/LendInk/124974504234948 Also Danielle Yockman from a post further down the page. edit: looks like this page is compiling a list http://ashentech.com/index.php/topic,3037.html?PHPSESSID=t9k...

edit2: Chrystalla Thoma said some negative things on facebook but never contacted LendInk, she has apologized. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=3891497111...

Also I'd like to point out that even on the forums where a lot of noise was made, there were plenty of authors who saw reason and tried to talk others down. http://jeannetomlin.blogspot.com/2012/08/lendink-and-twitter...
