Some of you know the problems I had over on amazon. There were a select few people that went out of their way to attack authors and anyone that disagreed with them on any open topic. So, I signed up to a romance group here on goodreads, introduced myself and then find out I am banned. Guess who are the admins? lol. The very same internet bullies that done negative tags, negative reviews and just said bad things about 200 different authors. So I am expecting their little army of bullies to trash my book in the next few days, fun times!

Oh, there is so much Internet bullying that goes on. I got banned from a big online group - City Data forums because although people can list books they read, apparently you cannot dare mention that you write or have books out. And I wasn't even promoting, just ansewring a question from someone about writing and answered from my experience so they banned me - forever! There is another regional forum I sometimes visit and there are a handful there who don't like me, make rude comments - I checked over there today first time in awhile and saw someone suggested I should go be a bartender which didn't even make sense. I suppose we're all going to get some of this but it sucks!
That is the disappointing thing. It tends to happen a lot. I found the people on here and they were all joking about how nasty they had been to one poor author. I think that is really cruel. I can understand people not getting on. There are one or two people I haven't been best buddies with, but I wouldn't go out of my way to cause them harm. It is disappointing, but good things come to good people. That is what I believe. So I stay positive and just focus on myself, lol.
