Ooh, yeah. The butthurt about not-so-positive reviews has been strong for ages with authors, I guess we all know that? and now it's escalated.
I'm going to be smug for a moment and say this is one of the reasons I love LibraryThing so much (it's not so popular with the masses, because there's a steeper learning curve or something, plus not being intimately linked to FB? and also fairly strict rules about what authors can and can't do as authors on the site), but these authors still have no business doing this nonsense, and it's appalling.
TBH when I first saw the "GoodReads Bullies" website name, I assumed it was made by readers about author bullies, and not what it actually is, because author-bullies are such a problem these days!
