If the bullies try to argue that Goodreads is a site for readers only, please reference and the quote from it below.
“We’re in the media business today. We’re in the business of helping authors and publishers market their books to readers. And that’s where we make our money. We sell book launch packages to authors and publishers and really help accelerate, build that early buzz that a book needs to succeed when it launches and accelerate that growth through ads on the site.”
- Otis Chandler, founder of Goodreads

Although they consistently read our site, the GR bullies and the Amazon fora trolls are not allowed here. They are not allowed to comment, participate in discussions, or harass our visitors in any way. This site is not for them. This site is for others. It was made to warn and educate them about the GR bullies and their behavior.
It has come to our attention that several authors have been blamed for our site. We want to let you know that any author who is blamed for the existence of our site is innocent. As we say on our Who We Are page: we are readers, bloggers, and Goodreads members (not authors). The bullies want people to believe that we are "butthurt authors seeking revenge". This is simply not true. We are readers who wish to end the hate culture that exists on GR and Amazon.
All donations go to the STGRB treasury whose sole purpose is to help struggling authors. Many authors who have been attacked online cannot afford to hire IP attorneys. This fund was created to support them.
