"Exposed" by STGRB
I have just finished reading a screenshot of a posting that STGRB did about me...I would simply like to clear a few things up for anyone that has seen it.
1. Yes, I did the unforgivable thing of being nice to Ann Somerville. She always treated me well and I never had a reason to dislike her.
2. As an AVID reader, I purchased a book, and I reviewed it. Ann didn't ask me to review it, yes, she did recommend it. The way STGRB presents it is taken WAY out of context. Anyhow...I actually reviewed it because I was so blown away by the book, I decided I HAD to review it. If you ever take the time to review the book, you will probably feel the same way.
3. I two starred the "Raie' Chaelia. I picked up the book out of curiosity. I read the book...And as I stated in my review, the main character was the most annoying twit I have ever had the displeasure of reading. I didn't two star the book because of the author, I two starred it because it SUCKED! Think I am wrong? Read it. Decide for yourself.
4. That is by far NOT the longest review I have ever written. Look at my reviews...Specifically, look at my reviews on Goodreads. As a STAY AT HOME MOM, I don't always have the time to move all of my reviews from Goodreads over to Amazon. That is all you have to do to prove STGRB wrong. My facts were 100% correct. I quoted the book directly (with the page open on my lap) and whether STGRB likes it or not, I HATED the book. Period. Guess what? Not everyone is going to like everybook that is written. Not everyone loves my books...and I don't whine like a baby about it.
5. To my knowledge, I have never spoken to, or had a conversation with the author of the Raie' Chaelia. How on earth could I be "holding a grudge" against someone I don't even know???
If anyone had taken the time to notice, all of my reviews go up over a few days times. That means, I read a bunch of books, and then I review them. That also means that the last book I read probably gets the longer review...just by the very fact that it is fresh in my mind.
I have tried, repeatedly, to open the channel of communication with STGRB. I have offered to talk to them. I have asked that I be removed from their lists because of the EXCESSIVE bullying I have experienced by their followers. They have instead, made me one of their headliners.
AND FOR WHAT? I was nice to someone they don't like.
Humm...kind of fishy that I continued to be bullied by that site, and their followers, simply for being nice. Isn't that a little ironic?

It is best to ignore anything put up on that site, unless it's related to your physical location, like the expose they put up last year and then claimed they never did. Google cache and screenshots don't lie.I don't think too many people take these folks on that site seriously. One woman's quest to drag as many people as she can through the mud because they dared not like her book - how could anyone take that seriously?
:D The more I am vilified on that site, the more I really get how much of the content on that site is nothing more than lies.
I promise I don't care what they say about me...I just think I should have the right (which I obviously do) to disagree publicly with their version of reality.
There is nothing on that site but cowardice, spite and smears. Whatever plain of reality their not so anonymous owner lives on, I hope it at least has nicer weather than our one.
You know, I have never read a review or basically, anything here on Goodreads... I update my books and my shelves, check out a few recommendations, and that is it... But, I read this one, and I checked out that site that is, talking about you? Right? Just from the first page alone, hell, within the first paragraph, I can see that you are right: These are a bunch of bullies, bullying... bullies? Fighting fire with fire never has solved anything & that is just what they are doing. I also agree with the fact that, if you can't write an HONEST review, then why write a review at all? That is censoring. These people are doing exactly what the 'bullies' are doing: Using insults and degrading people. The internet is a nasty, harsh world and I usually stay away from negative shit (thus why I stopped even having a blog)...
I'm sorry you've been bullied by them, Elly. How ironic is it that a site that claims to hate bullying ends up being the biggest bullyfest of all?
You can't change what other people say, do or think about you. You can only be true to yourself. Concentrate on that and forget those people. They don't know truth when it smacks them in the head, because they're too busy twisting it to fit what they want it to mean.
