Let me see... I was reported by Rick to the authorities for being a "cyber-criminal", but never made it on the "biggest offender" list. Hmm... According to Pervy I am a "Supercunt" and Mike Mispuke called me "Stinkypussy", so being a so called "bully troll" doesnt really bother me. :)

I asked Todd what he thinks about the STGRB post where they stated publicly to use fake names to sign his "real name" petition. The legitimacy of it is now questionable. I wonder how many signatures are already fake?

Todd thanked me for bringing it to his attention, and agreed that it is not a good thing what the ugly green hate site wants people to do. Todd said he already contacted them to make his feelings clear about this particular blog post.

Can't prove this is Annette, but it's clearly an ally whining for her. It should be noted the offending review went missing from Amazon yesterday and Shaw was celebrating on Twitter. Today, the review is back, but wasn't reposted by the reader since the comments are still there.

Anyway, I suspect she's pissed her attempt to silence the reader wasn't aided by Amazon.

I have never seen an author post about a bad review without editorializing. It is the opinion portion of posts that people remark upon.

These "authors" have no understanding of the English language.

The ugly green hate site does what they alway do: attacking a reviewer. STGRB at its finest. Nice to see for a change that everyone is using their real names, like Drunk By Noon.

Why did Melissa announce STGRB's retirement when she was just keeps posting a bunch lame stories? These are the same things she posted last year in March. The Anne Allen stuff is old. Readers deciding not to review indies isn't new either. It's the same blah. At least Rick gives his posts pizzazz and emotion. Melissa clearly doesn't care anymore, but refuses to go away.

OK, there was obviously a misunderstanding or a BL glitch of some sort. Guys, this is going out of hands and I am cleaning up the pages, and will delete some comments now. There is no need for killing each other, figuratively speaking, because of a misunderstanding, ´kay? Thanks. Now lets calm down everyone and back to business. If there are questions PM me or Angela.

STGRB is riding on the hate train again.

Since the ugly green hate site has posted some selective screenshots from the KDP forum I link to the original thread. An author asked for a review, and got one. Just not the one she wanted. STGRB proves once again it is always about critical reviews.

Picking a Fight with a Barrel of Ink by Pete Morin, Nov 27, 2012

The rather unfortunate case of Hammer vs Trendl, when an Amazon author sued a reviewer. A worthy read even the case is from 2002

This is how you sue an "evil" reviewer properly. Kudos to Mr. Hammer.

Caution: Trainwreck ahead.

Since Melissa stated STGRB doesn't run stories outing the "attacked" authors without their permission (think Lucy Flood), Annette Shaw and Rob Hackney clearly went to the hate site with their crap. I hope they get a lot of sales out of it. Oh, right, never mind.

This is more proof STGRB is all about negative reviews. Annette Shaw is actual the perfect poster whiner for the site.

1) Knowingly published an unedited book.
2) Asked for a review for the unedited book.
3) Received an otherwise positive review that mentioned the lack of editing.
4) Freaked out about a review pointing out what she already knew which was the book was unedited.
5) Complained about stupid things like the reader posting their review in multiple locations. Uh, if it was a five star review, the reader would be awesome.
6) Obsessed about the review for MONTHS.
7) Led public attack against reader.
8) Schooled by more professional authors.
9) Threw a fit about everyone being out to get her (likely because we're all jealous of her meager sales).
10) Ran to STGRB for a hit piece on the reader.

No doubt Annette and STGRB will be very happy together. For now anyway. Melissa's friends don't stick around long unless they're Oops.

Melissa suddenly realized calling a reader a (hide spoiler) bitch (show spoiler) on an "anti-bullying" site was a bad thing. Anyway, she redacted the first usage and deleted the second comment. Too late. Her hate was clear.

This new comment is so duh that I don't know why anyone tries to communicate with STGRB supporters.

Annette Shaw asked Autumn for a review of her unedited book (forgetting to mention the unedited part). The review was positive regarding plot and characters, but the rating was low because the book was unedited. Annette admits it was unedited. After receiving an honest review, Shaw complained for months and tried to have it removed from Amazon. Only Melissa's sheep can view this scenario as Autumn reading the book to satisfy the "pack." Did anyone even know Annette existed before she whined about a bad review?

Who the fuck are these 'ringleaders'?

It makes them feel better to think I can't think for myself.

Given our individualist natures, I am not sure we could agree on a lunch order never mind buying or rating something on someone else's say so.

Melissa controls her sheep, so she assumes we're all controlled by a powerful leader. Melissa has a million socks, so she assumes everyone is someone's sock. Clearly, Melissa lacks imagination, so I guess it's good thing she views writing as a hobby.
