Unbelievable! This guy really doesn’t know when to stop! He keeps digging himself in deeper and deeper. Apparently, Kevin Weinberg, aka Parogar, went over to Anne Rice’s Facebook page and tried to make… yes MAKE Anne Rice renounce her support of our site. He says that if she does, “I will consider this settled.” As if she isn’t just going to swat him away like an annoying little knat. We’ve seen a lot of online bullies, but we’ve never seen a bully with an ego this big. Wow!
In the screenshots below, you’ll see how he goes to her page and confronts her. When she asks him if he was the one who left the threat on our blog, he avoids her question until she finally pushes him to answer. Then, she bans him.
Her reaction doesn’t surprise us. We could have told him not to waste his time.
We need to thank our blog reader for taking these screenshots before she deleted the thread from her page and banned Kevin. We’d also like to point out that Kevin is lying (again) when he says he hasn’t made good on his threat. We’ve heard from a couple people (innocent authors he promised to bully) that they have been targeted recently with some unsavory activity on their social media and books. They contacted us to let us know they don’t blame us, but instead blame the bully. Just like so many authors did two years ago when we started our blog. Instead of getting mad at us and telling us to stop, they sent us Thank You Messages. Remember that?

“I will consider this settled?” AND “I will take back everything I said about you?”
WOW. This man really is caught up in some kind of crazy, wacked-out fantasy. And to bring JESUS into this? This friend of his was cruel and hateful towards another author. Harassed, bullied, and threatened her. She was called out about it. She wasn’t bullied by anyone. Just called out about it on this website. He needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
He didn’t truly think he would get one over on her did he? His friend wasn’t bullied she was called out on her behavior. Then he decided to bully people too. While doing all the things that bullies say are grounds for attack. It appears he actually is incapable of seeing this clearly and so I feel bad for him. But his behavior must stop.
This man, like all reviewer trolls, certainly seems to be a psychopath. Anne suffered this fool a lot less gladly and for longer than I would have.
The cheek of that young pup speaking to, Anne Rice, like that. Who does he think he is? He goes onto Ms. Rice’s Facebook page, and tells her who she can and cannot support. Its quite unbelievable!
He says; “All I ask is that you renounce your support, and I will consider this settled. I will also take back everything I’ve said about you.” What does he mean by he will consider it settled? Is this some kind of threat? This guy is a real nasty piece of work.
Anne Rice is a true lady. She is a wonderful author, and an amazing, kind and empathic person. She is also extremely intelligent. Does this, Weinberg, person really think he can outsmart someone as experienced as, Anne Rice? The bullies go on, and on about freedom of speech. Yet, Weinberg thinks he has the power to control who, Anne Rice, supports. Absolutely unbelievable!
“we’ve never seen a bully with an ego this big.” Shit, no kidding …
Poor Anne Rice opened up a can of worms when she decided to help the fight against bullies and trolls. I wonder if she regrets it by now?
Nope, she doesn’t. She’s still fighting. She rocks!
Exposing bullying activity is not bullying, and Kevin knows this. The truth of the matter is that he’s like all the other bullies who are authors, like Angela and Linda. They think if they rant and rave loud enough, they’ll gain more fans while taking down their competition. Hate to tell you this, but that’s a shitty way to gain a fan base. Stop lying and intimidating and generally being a jerk. Be honest, be kind, and make positive connections. Support others who do the same. You’ll gain a lot more true fans that way.
As if Anne Rice should be worrying about getting back into the good graces of this pompous narcissistic little popinjay. “Just renounce your support of STGRB, Anne, and I will deign to overlook this little discrepancy of yours.” Gee, I wonder how well he’d take having some stranger on the Internet telling him to renounce his friend “and I will consider this settled”???
