My "author behaving badly" shelf has been deleted. How is that in ANY way right?
Maybe it's not. On the other hand, it's not hard to recreate it. If mine disappears, I will recreate it - it's a couple of clicks in Calibre.

But the guidelines don't silence anybody talking about author behaviour, in fact they've gone overboard to explain in exactly what circumstances that's fair. The review has to be about the book. If the author behaves badly, that may be relevant, as long as you talk about the book and not just the author.
