QED. I told you so. Another Amazon wipeout.

Blasphemy! Where are Harriet's reviews?!?!

Here I go to my favorite reviewer's page and -- WHAT?!
We're sorry, but this customer's list of reviews is currently not available. Please check back soon.
Ouch!

What happened with our dear Harriet's reviews, why can't I see them? I can't live, I can't exist, not even one day without reading and rereading Harriet Klausner's valuable reviews, please bring the Klausner over-the-top-of-Empire-State-terrific-chicklit-midappalachia-Noir-amateur-sleuth-cluck-cluck-five-stars-guaranteed reviews back.

[tuning old guitar]
- And now, boys and girls -- a singalong session:

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you touch Harriet Klausner blurbs.
You can do anything but lay off of Harriet Klausner reviews.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of Harriet Klausner burbling blurbs
Don't you step on my Harriet Klausner reviews.
You can do anything but lay off of Harriet Klausner reviews.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of Harriet Klausner blurbs
Don't you step on Harriet Klausner blurbs.
You can do anything but lay off of Harriet Klausner blurbs.

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on Harriet Klausner blurbs.
You can do anything but lay off of Harriet Klausner reviews

Her fans trashed my Listmania lists on Amazon

I started pointing out that Ms. K writes synopses NOT reviews. Next thing I knew my 4 Listmania Lists went from 100% Helpful to 27% in under 30 days. I believe her fans are clearing behind this and it burns my shorts to have this happen to me (and probably many other people).
Does anyone know it there is anything I can do to restore my ratings short of just pulling the lists altogether. I hate that her fans are so vindictive and intolerant. They need to grow up and quit acting like spoiled brats. They are ruining Amazon. Since Amazon won't count my "Not Helpful on Ms. K's reviews anymore, I at least leave a comment.
If you want to see my lists look for "The Butler" (AKA Whimsical Cats) before I take them down to republish at a later date.

Harriet, Harriet, where art thou Harriet?

Unless my computer is experiencing a glitch, the profile of Our Lady of the Infinite Reviews no longer shows up among the Harriet Klausners listed on the "people" space on Amazon. I have to go to the review of a particular unresd item to find her. Has Amazon actually put its most shameless contributor on the back burner? If so, why? As always inquiring minds want to know

Klausner Defense Shield is ON again.

Helen says:
Interesting. My yes 'votes' counted on the other reviews but since this review was confusing I voted no and my no 'vote' didn't register???
Again, I thought I'd test this (again, I remind the reader here that I can't possibly qualify as Harriet's "fan" since I never vote on her reviews, other than for testing -- which is like once a year maybe). Well, I voted, and my vote did not show up. The Bozos Schield is up again? No wonder our dear Harriet bubbled up in rank up to No. 652 (a couple of months ago she was what? 705 or something?).


Btw, there's a delightfully indignant new poster who apparently has just discovered the Klausner scam: "The Butler". For example,
The Butler says:
Does this synopsis writer get paid by the word?
Yes, Butler, I bet she does! Now, how long till Amazon blows The Butler away for making critical comments about their poster-girl Harriet? Faites vos jeux... I say, by tomorrow morning everything he's posted will be obliterated by Amazon and he himself will be banned from the site. If past is any lesson, Amazon will not tolerate public discussion of their top con-artist Harriet Klausner whose lifetime average (since Nov 1999) is six reviews a day, near all of them five stars (a handful four stars, and never really anything less than that).
Bingo! The Butler's gone. 07/12/2010

A man Harriet Klausner would understand and like


Who is that handsome chap? Ah but of course, everyone knows it's professor Figes, who has recently decided to wade into the murky waters of Amazon review writing with such effect.
... The future of one of Britain's leading historians was looking increasingly uncertain tonight after he admitted that he was the author of anonymous reviews that praised his own work as "fascinating" and "uplifting" while rubbishing that of his rivals. ...
Harriet and Professor Figes have a lot in common, maybe they should go on a date, what do you think, Dear Reader?
