MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) â€” Novelist Anne Rice, best known for her books about vampires, has signed onto a petition asking Amazon.com to stop allowing people to post anonymous reviews. In an interview with the Guardian, Rice says the â€œanti-author gangstersâ€ make her a victim of bullying.

It doesnâ€™t take long to find a cruel, anonymous comment on everything from newspaper websites to Yelp and Amazon.

â€œThatâ€™s the stupidest book Iâ€™ve ever read,â€ wrote one person while reviewing a novel on Amazon.

I see a lot of comments like that at news sites. Bunch of angry people. I suspect that is a typical DUmmie. :mental:

Personally, I'd rather put up with the idiot comments rather than giving up more privacy.
