So I gave my reaction as a reader of that discussion and how the author seemed to be coping (or rather not) during that exchange. I then extrapolated what I thought her motivations might have been for her actions later and pondered the damage this has possibly done to her as an author. I'm not sure how that message is being lost. I'm not distorting anything in particular, except in the recognition that as time passes some details will not remain as clear.
I don't think I could possibly argue against some of the shelf names I've read being childish, but I must have missed the purpose for asking the question.

And your reaction to what was going on in that review thread has somehow managed to make you distort the sequence of events as you said: "She queried, there was a retaliation, she tried to back down, someone threw in the "special snowflake" comment and the author got offended and it seemed to devolve from there." It just didn't happen that way, as there was no retaliation and author backing down between the author questioning the rating and snowflake comment.

I believe in innocent till proven guilty not many do anymore.
The problem is GR is doing nothing to pull these attacks on a author who may or maybe not be innocent but most of this is against GR's so called new guidelines.

It doesn't sound like you are taking the innocent till proven guilty approach when it comes to the "fanfic B****es".
