Munira @ In Vogue with Books
Mostly YA obsessed, my blog reflects it A LOT. It features books from NA & other fiction too. I share all my book rants there, post mostly spoiler-free reviews & many other bookish and non-bookish stuff :D

What Anne Rice Deleted as "Gangster Bully" Comments
For those wondering what got deleted, here you go. Screen shots!
I haven't gone through all of the comments, and I assume more has been deleted, but you can get a real sense of what she considers "gangster bullies". Even Jenny Trout! (WOW!)
Most of the comments deleted were opposing views about Stopthegrbullies.com (STGRB). Apparently, she simply doesn't care that they use anonymous names, bully authors and reviewers, and play all the dirty tricks she claims to want stopped.
Oddly, there are very few pro comments about STGRB. Why is that? The exception are a few people who have been active in the STGRB all along. So if she can't listen to reason, maybe she should listen to the silence. It speaks loudly. Her fans may support stopping cyber-bullying (as do all of us), but they don't appear to be fans of STGRB either.
