Really? And you say you're not the bullies? Isn't this pushing it too far? I mean, you want to argue that it's all about your right to review books negatively - yet the evidence shows you review authors instead and libel left and right, but still, how do you expect to prove your case when you go and do things like this?
I think it's a bit too much. I think it steps way out of line of just a simple battle of review rights. I think clearly, this shows who the real bullies are. I think it shows these people's real colors. Apparently, this is more than just "their" right to review authors in book reviews. This is about cyber bullying all the way. To step to such a level as to try and attack someone's good nature like this, and get them in trouble with a charity that this lady, Eve Thomas, is trying to help is about as sick and low as another human being can get.
But this is what STGRB and myself are battling against. people like this. They need to be exposed, and little by little, they are being exposed. When you people go and do something like this, you need to be exposed, and you need to be stopped. If you can't see how acts like this make you a bully, then I don't know what it will take to convince you.
It's a sad time right now for Goodreads. They're putting kids at risk of sexual predators, and their support of bullies and acts like this. It just boggles the mind.
Here's a screen shot of Eve Thomas apologizing for talking about her charity work. Then you can see one of the bullies respond. ("J4N3" to be exact)
Well, "J4N3" - I'm not sure she was referring to you as a sour grape, but then again, maybe you know yourself to be a sour grape so .... you know what they say about a guilty conscience.
Anyhow, here is a shot of Eve's previous post. And this a link to her blog
And of course, here is "Zahara" leaving a comment on it. She's obviously not a big fan of STGRB, and she has strong feelings about it. Calling STGRB bullies. But I ask this question, how can they be bullies for merely posting about what "They" (the bullies) are doing?
Here is what confuses me (and I may repeat this thought again in the future) but, if these bullies don't feel that they are bullying others by what they are doing, then why are they so mad at STGRB? I would think they (the bullies) would be happy that STGRB is covering everything they do. I mean, if you do it, then you must enjoy it and it must be something you don't mind everybody else knowing about so - if they (the bullies) aren't doing anything wrong with their attacks, then why are they mad at STGRB? Hey, bullies, if you're not proud of what you're doing, then stop it! That's all I got to say about that.
And here is Eve's apology for spamming groups on Goodreads where she explains how when she joined Goodreads, she just jumped head first and didn't read all the rules and guidelines. (And because of this, the bullies pounced on her, her book and her charity work.) And a link to it here. Eve's Reply To Comments
And here is a shot of one of the worst bullies on Goodreads (Stefani) with her take on Eve's apology. Pay special attention to the part where she talks about me. I circled it in red for you.
She says I spent four months "socializing" and interacting with minors to do my report. She is so wrong and this is why you can't trust these bullies for a minute. I never interacted with anybody while doing my "Sexual Role-playing" investigation. I just went in and read what others were writing and taking screenshots. That's it! But these bullies are spinning it like I was "participating" - which I never did. Do you see their evil here? Do you see their lies? Do you see their hate?
And these pedophilic dreams I had? Here, you can read for yourself. They have nothing to do with having relations with children. This is how Stefani and her stupidity spread the hate. (As do the rest of her bully friends) Carroll's Blog
Can you see how Stefani is spinning the truth to the point of flat out lying? This is what they (the bullies) do. It's their thing.
And as for my book, Last Flight Out - It's just that, a book. I wonder though, why she doesn't condemn her friend Jude Henderson (fake name) for sleeping with a 27 year old when she was 14? That wasn't a book, that is real life. No fiction in that story. Here's a link and a screen shot. (How do I know the guy she is talking about was 27? She told me.) Jude Story
These bullies don't care at all about the safety of the kids on Goodreads where sexually role-playing with adults are concerned. They're just more concerned about lying about me - the one who brought it out into the open - and libeling me further with more lies and accusations that again, they can never support with any kind of evidence. And trust me, Stefani is about the biggest bully and liar there is on Goodreads. She represents well the mentality and attitude of these people.
Keeping in mind that these people call STGRB all these vile names yet, they are the ones who go and contact Eve's charity and file a complaint against her for supporting STGRB. They bullied her to finally renounce her support for STGRB. Do you see the irony here? Here is a screen-shot.
And apparently, they won't leave her alone either. They are ruthless and relentless in their efforts to bully. You can tell in this next shot that Eve is at her wits end about it all. (And Stefani explaining why they are still bullying her)
If you click on the links I provided above, you can check out all of the action. But it is clear to see that these bullies stop at nothing in their efforts to try and destroy an authors career for no good reason. It just goes to show, once you are targeted, that's it. You can't defend yourself, explain yourself or even apologize. They (the bullies) won't hear of it.
And FYI - This attack had nothing at all to do with "reviews". It was about a new member, Eve Thomas, joining groups and advertising her charity to help women and children of Domestic Violence".
Maybe the bullies support domestic violence against women and children. Who knows? It sure seems that way to me.
And here is the group where the bullies on Goodreads meet to organize their attacks.

What We Learned Today:
* Eve made an innocent mistake and got attacked by the bullies
* Stefani is a liar as is all the bullies on Goodreads
* Carroll did not interact with minors during his four month investigation of sex RPing on GR
* It doesn't pay to apologize to the bullies
* The bullies do not stay in their space
* It's not about "book reviews"
* Jude Henderson isn't her real name (And she's not even an author)
* Jude Henderson had sex with a 27 year old drunk man at age 14
* Jude Henderson isn't her real name (And she's not even an author)
* Jude Henderson had sex with a 27 year old drunk man at age 14
* They (the GR bullies) will contact your charity to libel and slander your name
* The members of the hate group "Badly Behaving Authors" appear to support domestic against women and children as well as kids sexually role-playing with adults
