In fairness, I believe Prestidigitweeze compared people who attribute baseless and/or negative characterizations to people they don't agree with to Glen Beck.

What could be the reason for this sudden desire to leave GR? You don't trust Amazon? I agree it's a big evil corporation, but there are examples of big evil corporations doing the right thing.

Well it depends on what GR users are concerned about. If someone doesn't want Amazon to have access to what they are reading and what they like -- for whatever reason that may be and it doesn't have to be corporate hate -- then what is the point in waiting? Moreover, if it is easy to just move your info (to LT for example) and you don't mind doing that, why not go ahead and let the new Goodreads try to earn your trust?
I will agree that a wait and see is a more reasonable response, but I share many of the concerns that have been voiced in this thread and understand those that want to drop GR sooner than later.
