What if her reactions and the review sparked an interest in people, so they downloaded the sample and read it and
then left a 1-star review? I don't call that bullying. That's what happens when there's publicity and the book sucks.
The author also went after Red Adept on the blog, and she's really big on the Amazon Kindle forums, so I suspect there was also a bit of "protect our own" retaliation going on.
