Banned by the Publisher

Why is this blatant marketing allowed on HN?

This is the same ploy as the "banned" super bowl commercial scam. Submit something obviously unacceptable and then cry foul when it gets refused hoping to get views via the media attention.

I agree that this sound like self-promoting, but calling that bit of the book "obviously unacceptable"?

It's pretty simple. Get rejected, complain about how the man is holding you down, and hope the free publicity rolls in. It's marketing.
