Once again, thank you for an enlightening article, Linda. Obviously I've been one of the recipients - there's an abuse review on every one of my books. There is even one by a white supremacist pseudonym ("Randolph Calverhall") that has been there for years. It was up for about 5-6 years when a coworker mentioned "Who is this Randolph guy? His review sounds like he didn't even read the book, it sounds nothing like it." So he Googled the name and there it came - it is the pseudonymous author of the white supremacist book "Serpent's Path." Obviously it was just some troll using the guy's name but there is only one such review by this troll - for me, on my first novel.

I'm glad you read the book and these were your takeaways. On my own, I've come to the same conclusion. There's a men's rights advocate+ on every article or topic remotely related to them, there are racists on every topic related to people of color, and of course every celeb and politician and many corporations/most billionaires have advocates who will bully on their behalf. There are even people who will bully if you say sugar is unhealthy. hugs + white light Linda
