Because the bullies are so obsessed with our site, they monitor it 24/7 and they’ve started on Amazon dedicated to it.
Gosh, we’re so flattered!
If you visit , you’ll see them plotting, calculating, and formulating plans within plans within plans about how they’re going to bring about our demise:
Note: Alison Black is a sock account, btw, and we pretty sure we know who’s sock it is.
Anyhow, you’ll see them making claims about how horrible we are — how we bully them, call them names, tell lies about them, kick puppies, steal from children, beat the elderly and so on and so on, blah, blah, blah — starting whatever rumor they can think of next. But the rumor they started today was so hysterically funny, we had to share it with you.
Okay so… a little background about what happened. The other day, one of our members was in our Google dashboard, checking the site stats. Because she had a dodgy wireless mouse, she accidentally clicked the link that deleted our site’s url from the Google index without knowing it. We didn’t know it had happened until today when we started receiving messages from our blog readers, telling us they couldn’t find our site because it wasn’t appearing in the Google search engine (btw, everyone, it’s easy to bookmark a website in your browser, there is usually an icon for that in the url toolbar). When we heard about this, we checked Google webmaster and sure enough, the url was gone. So, we fixed it and within a couple hours, our site was searchable again.
So, how did the bullies react?
Well, they went into a crazed frenzy with cries of “Extra! Extra! Read all about it! STGRB blocked by Google!” And we just sat back with our popcorn, or for some of us, our glasses of wine, and laughed and laughed and laughed.
😀
It all :
And then what happened? Well…
And then…
They took it to BookLikes and blogged and reblogged:
And then…
Onto Goodreads:
And finally…
*drumroll*
is where they found out our site was back and realized that they had duped themselves into believing their own ridiculous rumor:
Hilarious!!!
😀
So… why are we telling you about all this? Simple. Because we want to show you how quickly (and easily) these bullies can start a rumor, believe their own lie, and then spread it around the internet within minutes, preaching it as if it were a fact.
Pretty amazing, isn’t it?
And this isn’t the first time they’ve made complete fools of themselves. They did this when we changed hosting companies and also when our site was down one weekend last winter (for an hour in the middle of the night!) when our hosting company was in the middle of a server maintenance. In fact, they do this kind of thing whenever we do anything like cough or sneeze. It’s rather amusing.
We’d like to claim that we set this whole thing up as a joke, but alas, we did not. It was an honest mistake on our part, but after much reflection over it, we’ve come to the conclusion that the bullies’ lives are so miserable (hence the source of their need to hurt other people), we can honestly say we actually felt good about giving them just a little bit of happiness today…
Even if it was short-lived.
See, bullies, we can be nice.
😀

These people are unbelievable. They attack us and then attack themselves to make themselves look like victims. They’re crazier than a Criminal Mind unsub.
Right, you wouldn’t believe it if you didn’t have the proof right in front of your eyes. They’re nuts!
Still reading all of your posts in email…
So, the people that claim to despise censorship (their definitions of it anyway) are having a party because they truly believed that your site was blocked by Google? LOL Google is not that petty and does not randomly blacklist sites without solid legal reasoning.
Total hypocrisy! (Had to say that)!!! still lol…
They always do this! They start a rumor and then preach it like fact and believe their own lies. They do this with rumors about authors all the time.
I think it’s funny as hell that these people, who spend huge amounts of their free time feuding with people on the Internet, can claim with a straight face that this site is a “hate site.”
And they think it was plausible that Google actually considered STGRB a “hate site”? Just as an experiment, I went to Google just now and typed “godhatesfags” into the search bar, and the Westboro Baptist Church website was the first search result to turn up. Google lists the website of that bunch of evil funeral-crashing lunatics, but the book trolls had hope that STGRB was too evil for Google? Ridiculous!
So typical of their lies and misinformation. What a bunch of trolls! It’s funny how they track this site so much. Very telling…
LOL they live for this drama, it’s so sad
Shakes head. They are true idiots. Never checking and double checking their info. That Debbie was the one on Goodreads claiming censorship and listed all these books about freedom of speech and what is censorship. Then all of a sudden those books disappeared and she stopped spewing the censorship bull over on GRs. Wonder if she realized that what the business of GRs did was legal and not considered a violation of their TOS. Lord. Gives me a headache just thinking about these people.
I don’t know what’s funnier, this post or Carroll Bryant claiming he’s debunked STGRB’s claims against him with his blog posts. I choked when I read that. Yeah right, your claims were debunked by him just like the moon landing was debunked by the Flat Earth Society. LMAO!
Lol! Did he really say that? That’s funny!
They’re still saying Google blocked you. KarlynP won’t give up on it. Ha!
Saw that. Good lord! She just doesn’t want to admit that she was wrong and jumped to a false conclusion. I’ll edit the post to explain in more detail. It wasn’t Google blocking us. Geez.
KarlynP is pretty gullible. I’m surprised nobody’s taken advantage of her yet, like Gavin did with Shelby…
But we still should thank her. We had a damn good laugh yesterday. That was the funniest thing we’ve seen since that whole Gavin and Shelby fiasco.
Who deleted the site from the index?
One of our members who helps us keep an eye on GR. She’s not really a techy person. Stitch is usually the one to handle website issues.
They begin to lose credibility with me every time they insist written lies are “slander”.
Bullies, it’s LIBEL and STGRB isn’t committing it. Keep reaching.
They really are stupid, aren’t they? I don’t know whether to laugh at them, or feel embarrassed for them.
STGRB, that thread you linked to (on Amazon MOA) was started by Book World. BW had good intentions when he/she started the thread, but by page 7 the thread was taken over by the bullies. SHOCK!!
BW was looking objectively at STGRB’s position and standing up for bullied authors. Of course that all went straight to hell within a few pages, thanks to said bullies.
A few highlights from the bullies…..
“Link it, or it didn’t happen.”
“Link it, or it did not happen.” (yes this was said at least twice)
“Don’t you get it? She’s speaking “bully.” She thinks she’s talking to the denizens in their native environment. Kind of like saying “yo” if you’re in Queens.”
“BTW, I checked and MS grammar says this is a real sentence. So, suck it!”
“She must have a good editor if she sells anything near what she says she does.”
“I see all those uploads you have, one has a whopping three reviews and is ranked just under #1.5 million on the Kindle Best Sellers list. Congratulations.”
“How many real authors are on that petition, besides Anne Rice and a bunch of other nobodies?”
Some of the worst comments were by Amazing Grace, including the last quoted one.
These people are like parasites; as soon as they see a potential host to bully, they jump on it like flies on shit.
Yep, we know. Of course any thread started about us is going to be hijacked by the trolls. This is the second STGRB thread they’ve started. The original wasn’t started by Book World. I’ll look for the link to the original.
Too true, about “any thread started about stgrb is going to be hijacked by the trolls”. omg, you ain’t lying. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I’ve never seen any group of people as vindictive and nasty as the bullies. Yuck.
Thanks for clarifying that the original thread wasn’t started by Book World.
There was another thread on Amazon, in the Kindle Book Forum called “STGRB – Proof Positive.” It was started by none other the, Anna Karenina, in August 2012.
Thanks for a wonderful Saturday morning laugh. It helped brighten my day!
Really wondering if these idiots plead a mental illness so they can stay home all day, get a check and just bully others. Do they really not have any type of life outside of their bullying?
They really need to go in for help if they believe Google will block this site because Amazon ask them. That will not happen and then All Google needs to do is look and see that STGRB is NOT (yes emphasis for not, maybe it will help then since they cannot see) bullying anyone. Posting info that is legally obtained from other sites or thru research is NOT bullying / slander.
Sadly these people must have a very dull, boring life. If they took all the energy and put it to good use there would be no world hunger.
Maybe we need to redirect them to do something good.
Hey bullies, try going after Monsanto they are bullies with lawyers.
