Below is the very first post we published on our blog July 2, 2012. We decided to start with The Holy Terror due to her nasty and vicious nature. Some of our site visitors think she is Minerva, the blog owner behind Stop the STGRB Bullies. Others just think she’s a witch. Both are highly plausible.
**************************************************************************************
GR name: The Holy Terror
Real name: Shannon D.
Category: Stalker/Information Fetcher
Level of Toxicity: DEFCON 1, Maximum Alert, Severely Toxic
Here is a link to her GR profile photos. From this, we can divine that she likes to take pictures of herself. How nice!
Shannon is what we here at STGRB call a stalker and an information fetcher. Whenever the bullies are stirring up trouble, she jumps into the fray, terrorizing and stalking the victim/victims being targeted. Then, she brings back the information she has found to the group. From what we’ve seen, she appears to take her job very seriously and is dedicated to her stalking duties.
As for her professional life, well, she doesn’t have one. She doesn’t work for a living or take care of children. From what we’ve gathered, all she does is stay indoors, at home, and sit in front of her computer ALL DAY LONG! So if you’re wondering how she has so much time to stalk people online, that’s how.
Out of all of Shannon’s bullying shenanigans, this one in particular stood out in our minds. This one involves the attack on James Austen. Our sources spoke with James and from the evidence we have seen, the story goes something like this. A bully on the Amazon fora accused James of spamming. Of course, James was innocent of the allegations and responded. Then, the pack attacked. A bully named Ridley began harassing James on Goodreads, leaving nasty comments on his author page and on his Twitter account, accusing him of insanity and calling him “a headcase.” Then, upon hearing of the attack, Shannon jumped in, saying:
Then, she went after him with insults as well to provoke him, saying to Ridley:
After this, she wanted to know how Ridley was ruining his career:
Huh, so, her chosen GR name is starting to make sense, now. Befits her behavior, don’t you think? Such a classy young lady, isn’t she? If you would like another glimpse into her lovely personality, check out this clipping where she is discussing a book she didn’t like (big surprise!)
Now, our sources know James Austen and have told us that he’s cool. In the end, he was bullied and chased out of GR for no other reason than Ridley and Shannon wanting to have some fun (please note that it had nothing to do with a negative review, which is usually their claim):
These bullies relish in bringing misery to others and ruining their reputations and careers. We believe that this is very, very unhealthy behavior, not to mention complete douchebaggery.
Our advice to Shannon: GET OFF your computer. GO outside and enjoy the beautiful So. Cal. weather. You live in Carlsbad, California, for crying out loud! You know how many people in the world would give their first born child to live where you live? Go out and enjoy it! Quit stalking and terrorizing people online and get a life, girl!
Oh no! Please don’t compare this horrid person to a witch! You’ll be giving witches a bad name!!
Oh, that’s true, isn’t it?
“Les Enfants Terribles” is such a wonderful book! Jean Cocteau would be disgusted if he was still around to see this venomous bully using his book as their user-name. Ugh!
Although this bully does remind me of the two children in the book. They are brother and sister and they like to play what they call “the game.” In this “game” they bully each other relentlessly, the winner is the one who has the last word.
Ummm…. I guess the so called “Holy Terror” knows she is a bully. That is why she picked the user-name “The Holy Terror.” It’s all a “game” to her! What a sick individual!!!
