I totally support the changes. They're reasonable. I never understood why some users were hell bent on punishing authors because of a book they hated. I dislike plenty of books and give them one star reviews but I keep the review to the book. I don't know the authors of the books I read so how can I say anything bad about them? Plus, whether or not an author is likeable, it has no bearing on how good or bad her book is.

If there are authors who hold views I find abhorrent then I simply don't read their books or list them on GR. Why go through the effort of putting all their books on shelves like "I hate this author" or "don't buy from this author because they suck"? It seems stupid, immature and not productive. Plus it doesn't help other readers to find good books or know if a book is good or bad.
