We were just tipped off to (written by an anonymous reviewer of course) of a book by Anne Rice, proving the necessity of :
For all authors who are signing the petition, we want to warn you. The trolls are . STGRB is reporting this Amazon discussion thread for abuse. We invite others to do the same. Attacking people because they signed a Change.org petition is despicable. We already know of one author who was targeted by the GR exiles because she posted a link to the petition in her Facebook group. So be careful when signing or even when sharing the link with friends. It’s probably best to share it in private if you don’t want to be targeted by these nasty people.
On a positive note, the petition is now up to 6,203 signatures!
Good job, everyone!
The signature count is up to 6,307! It got over 100 signatures overnight!
So Anna K. is actually encouraging a hit list of authors to be attacked. Aaaaaaannnnnd what part of this hit list has to do with reviews? Oh that’s right, it doesn’t like the rest of the bullshit targeted authors and their readers have to endure.
Well I’ll be screen capping that for my file.
Notice how some came out and declared the bully review as a plot and conspiracy of STGRB? As if it’s some sort of demented reverse psychology. It’s hilarious!
Anything that doesn’t go their way? It’s a CONSPIRACY!
Anyone says something against them? It’s a REVERSE BULLYING!
Anyone that does something they don’t want? It’s a PLOT!
Yeah yeah. Like most here don’t have better things to do. You know, like write more and read more.
Oh good lord! What are they going to think of next?
Who does this woman think she is?
I know, right? She’s entirely missing the point of the petition.
Here I thought I’d add this link here. For anyone on that ahem…”list” (major eye roll), people need to be able to protect themselves, both readers and authors.

Thank you, Emma!
Also, the person behind this post, does realize that NOT ALL the 6000+ signatures are authors, doesn’t she? The majority are most likely readers. Just saying…
No, they’re too stupid to realize that.
That woman just loves making rules for authors to follow. Oh wait, no, it’s just another way to try to keep pushing authors around.
She probably doesn’t even seriously expect any authors to follow her little checklist; she’s just positioning herself so she can puff her little chest out and moralize about “badly behaving authors” again.
This guy is awesome!
