Despite the recent banning of Angela, Miranda, and All Hail Grimlock, the drama llamas are out to play, folks! It’s been almost four whole months and they are STILL whining about the “horrible injustice” done to them by the GR staff.
(For more information on the policy change at Goodreads, please read GR Now Deleting Author-Bashing Reviews).
If you take a look at some of the GR feedback threads, the llamas are still going at it. In , Emily tries in vain to reason with them. Do you think she was successful?
Right.
The thread starts of with… guess who? Our favorite llama of them all! Ridley:
If you read the thread, there are several more whiny comments, but for the sake of keeping our post short, we’ll let you go to and read them yourself.
A little farther down Emily steps in and makes a valiant attempt at communication.
And then:
Why, yes, Sandra. It does only apply to abusive content. That’s why it’s called an anti-bullying policy.
And they wonder why they get ignored by the staff:
Hmm…
Then Batgrl says:
Politely-and-earnestly-worded? Is she serious?
If you want to see how polite and earnest they were, just check out the original announcement thread. You won’t be surprised that GR stopped communicating with them. But you know, it does our hearts good to see the Goodreads staff having to deal with these llamas. Now at least the they are getting a taste of what others on the site have had to deal with for years while they sat back and did nothing, or worse, actually supported them.
And speaking of that, here’s that will warm your heart. It’s between Reyna’s Mom, Emily, and KarlynP on page 2:
What’s telling here is the fact that the llamas still don’t get it. Even after Emily explains to them that deletions will only occur if activity/content violates their rules, they are still wallowing in their own self-pity and whining about the “unfair treatment”. You see, because the llamas suffer from acute martyr syndrome, they believe they are being singled out and discriminated against. They are still not seeing that it’s THEIR BEHAVIOR that’s the problem. They also fail to see that they are the only ones who are still complaining on the GR feedback threads ever since the anti-bullying policy went into effect. If they wonder why they are being noticed more than others by the staff, all they have to do is put two and two together. But apparently, they seem to be incapable of careful, reasoned thought. Here’s what’s happening. Anti-troll GR members are seeing their names in the threads, then they are clicking on their profiles and examining their reviews and shelves, and finally, they are flagging them. And then?
Bye-bye content.
Not too hard for a person with an average intelligence to figure out, but then again, we are talking about the GR bullies here. There’s really not a lot going on between their ears.
Anyhow, that’s it for today. If we get any more news from our Twitter and Facebook followers or from our blog readers, we’ll post it as soon as we can.
Peace out and stay safe.
