Then you have this blog of authors who are super sensitive and report every single reviewer they feel isn't nice and the list is HUGE. Some are called for some are not. You have Goodreads in the middle of all this pretending none of this is going on.
All of sudden you got Goodreads going after these reviewers some good and some really bad because this blog and followers are taking advantage of the new guidelines and someone over at GR has their ear or is reading the blog and taking their word for it.
When GR first announce the changes I was like YES finally the really bad ones will go and most have so that goal is accomplished but alot of good people are being caught in the crossfire of this secret war.
Now this blog is over at Booklikes and starting their reporting about it. This isn't about who is right or wrong this blog has a personal vendetta going against a list of reviewers.

So basically you have this group who felt sufficiently victimised and powerless that they create their own group elsewhere to continue the "good fight" and now that they've won a victory they're using that to exact revenge?
It's like the Hatfields and the McCoys isn't it?
