I mean it's bad enough that they disparage the author, but other reader's opinions as well? I agree with Furious D that people have too easy of a time hiding behind false identities while destroy others' reputations. I guess that's why so many can discount his 1 star ratings and just use their own good judgment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-9007870415205721012010-06-20T15:58:46.907-04:002010-06-20T15:58:46.907-04:00Wait... if YOU, THE Janet Reid can be afraid of so...Wait... if YOU, THE Janet Reid can be afraid of someone, what hope is there for the rest of us?Patty Blounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928111057602279792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-89033123000018690672010-06-20T14:27:35.777-04:002010-06-20T14:27:35.777-04:00Everybody has someone that hates them, and thanks ...Everybody has someone that hates them, and thanks to the internet, it's easier for the haters to find their special someone to hate, and to express their hate from the safety of long distance and anonymity.<br /><br />I had 2 guys attack me regularly whenever I'd comment at a business news blog. No real reason for their vitriol since I, and my comments, had zero effect on their lives, they were just pathetic enough to need to tear a total stranger down.<br /><br />One even tried to imitate me, using my name on one of their own comments. But they failed to capture my pomposity, verbosity, and smug know-it-all attitude. ;)<br /><br />Before the internet, they'd have had to do it to their target's face, and that requires too much testicular fortitude for the average troll.Furious Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934529688753875751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-41260620088879010672010-06-20T10:18:46.251-04:002010-06-20T10:18:46.251-04:00argh, so frustrating!! i mean, what can you do in ...argh, so frustrating!! i mean, what can you do in a situation like this besides report, report, report? <br /><br />luckily, this trash talker doesn't seem to have affected Stuart's success in any way. <br /><br />but seriously, how can you dislike Stuart?moonrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294151043419378509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-65354595333222562392010-06-20T01:20:03.758-04:002010-06-20T01:20:03.758-04:00Stuart is far, far too nice a guy to do anything n...Stuart is far, far too nice a guy to do anything nasty to the stalker. <br /><br />It's such a pity when people destroy an honest system with dishonest purpose, but on the plus side, it doesn't seem to have stopped Ghosts of Belfast from shooting to the top. I guess it means people have learned to ignore the reviews.Gary Corbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759372069119740227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-66623439354913274892010-06-19T20:17:31.091-04:002010-06-19T20:17:31.091-04:00I loved Ghosts of Belfast.

I know--if ever I get published--that I will get the same treatment and I'm fine with it. After all, my own mother has 1 starred me from time to time and has no shame in telling me to get back to work. But these Amazon 1 stars are just...well...fascinating! I can't help myself!<br /><br />That said, if I had as much time on my hands as the stalker I would probably crank out ten books a year.Charli Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361881403207853719noreply@blogger.com
