The story started because of ratings of interest. GR allows (allowed?) people to rate a yet unpublished story to show interest. In this case a member showed lack of interest by giving the book a 2-star rating. The author proceed to ask about it. I don't know what language she used for the question, but she 4 1-star ratings from people who didn't like it and 75 5-star ratings from people showing their support. Well actually two of the 75 5-star ratings were from herself one on an old account and one on the new account.
She said that she was a new member and that is why she asked the question about the rating, but apparently she had an old account
She made it sound like she was threatened with rape, but later she clarified:

At no point have I ever said “People threatened to rape me”… simply expressed how disgusted I was…

She just kept insulting members, and the website.
This isn't a story about GR members bullying authors, this is a story about an author bullying GR members.
