Watching the whole farce play out, Sir STGRB scratched his head and wondered the very same thing as Troll Char, specifically: why were the fake reviews and twitter gaming suddenly not important to readers who used to attack authors for this very thing?

Very strange.

Meanwhile, Troll Edward returned to his home in the land of BookLikes and made a public announcement that what he had done in the Kingdom of Goodreads, he had done maliciously and on purpose:

OnPurpose

And Spare Ammo called him desperate and icky:

Then, the trolls and flying monkeys went after Troll Edward:

Finally, Troll Amanda , acting as if she had never done anything similar in her entire life:

Fed up with the behavior of her court, Evil Queen Shelby decided to leave the land of BookLikes and claimed she was going to leave the Kingdom of Goodreads as well:

But when she received several pleas from her fawning sycophants:

And Gavin?  What happened to poor, bullied and banned Gavin?  How did his story end?

Well, after having been shattered by the evil queen and her minions, he learned a very valuable lesson:

WakeUpCall

He returned to his  in the land of BookLikes and continued once more to rebuild his life and his reputation.

The end.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

NEVER get involved with evil queens, trolls, and flying monkeys because it NEVER ends well.  Stay very far away from them and their lands.

The reason we shared this story with you is because we wanted to show you what happens to a person when they get involved with the bullies.  Gavin originally went to them to smear his enemy, Joe.  In the end, he was the one who got smeared and bullied.

This is perfect example of why it’s best to stay away.  DO NOT associate with the bullies.  They are not your friends.  They will turn on a dime and you will suddenly find yourself the target of their hatred.  You will be guilty until proven innocent and what’s more, for many of them, you won’t be able to say anything to dissuade them from their conviction.  The best thing to do is stay far away from them.  Far, far away.
