Abusive reviews are a "whatever" for me, though I'd prefer the writer get a heads-up before deletion, and where the line is drawn is going to be a major issue. Shelves, though, are going to potentially be an even bigger area of contention. If I don't want to read Orson Scott Card because of his political actions, and I make a personal bookshelf (with a non-abusive name) to remind myself that I don't want to put money in his pocket to further his goals, I'm not really on board with that being summarily disallowed.
Note that the twonks at STGRB have demanded that shelves such as "snowflakes" and "llamas" be disallowed. What other random words are going to end up being verboten? Readers will always find a way to let other readers know what they think of books, and of authors.
