An author has unleashed a vile, venomous, and uncalled-for attack on a reader, Reba Belle, based on Reba Belle's 3-star review of the author's book. The author proceeded to harrass and bully poor Reba Belle: not only did this author reveal Reba Belle's full name, but also that of her husband, children, and other relatives, and she obtained Reba Belle's address from another author.
Amazon refuses to take action on behalf of Reba Belle and, instead, has punished her by banning her from posting and reviewing on Amazon.
Please read the online petition to Amazon here, and sign the petition. There is no donation necessary: the petition is not related to any donations.
Also, please spread the word and consider boycotting Amazon until this situation has been resolved satisfactorily for Reba Belle.
With much gratitude,
Tea
