Sorry, i have three more!

- i hate GoodReads.
Just yesterday, i saw a 1/5 review, a scathing 1/5 at that, because the "reviewer" hated spiders! How dare the author include mention of spiders in his own novel? Offensive! Her "review" is by now months old, i only just happened to come across it yesterday mind; no one's seen fit to remove it. Am guessing "rights".

- i hate authors that make accounts in GoodReads and post their "reviews". Be a professional?

- i hate authors that make accounts in GoodReads and post "reviews" about their own book; worse yet, some do not shy of not only giving themselves a 5/5, but asking us to go easy on their work because it means so much to them, the poor things.

(don't they have some moderation in there? Or is it a lack of ethics altogether?)
