But how does this have anything to do with the rating of someone else's books? I agree with your stance - the genre should be welcome to everyone - but I don't see how giving an author's books low ratings equates. Seems petty.
He literally agreed with someone saying "we should force all the women out of the genre' I'll be as petty as I like in the face of such sexist, borderline violent opinions. Interesting you seem more troubled by my ultimately harmless ratings than by his behavior. One of them threatened real harm. The other is trivial BS on Goodreads. And I did it so people would see all the one stars and wonder what was up and go seeking out his bad behavior. People have done that for nearly as long as goodreads has been around.
Thank you for the candid reply. I suspected that it was a reaction to something unpleasant, but I couldn't find the details.
