by Silentscope 23.09.21 9:28

I clicked on it out of Schadenfreude. No apologies or regrets.

Schadenfreude = taking pleasure in the downfall of others.

What does it say? I can't read it....have to subscribe or something.

by **sharonl** 23.09.21 22:29

Its in one of those horrid non copy formats, had to improvise and take screenshots. Not the best way, but its on its way.

So far as I can see the reviews of which they are complaining are remarkably polite
and give reasons for what they say.

by **Jill Havern** 24.09.21 8:51

The review by JH in the second screenshot was not mine.

Although I agree with it.

I haven't left a review. I haven't read the book, I've only read Peter's analysis.

Press CTRL+P as if you were going to print the page out. Use Copy and Paste to select what you need from the Preview.

Jill - you might ask the site editor for a correction to the statement that you posted a review, since the article considers them to be "causing considerable commercial damage".

AN aggressive social media campaign has been launched in a bid to destroy a new book on the Madeleine McCann mystery and the German prime suspect in her disappearance. The so-called ‘trolling’ of the well-researched book by Olive Press editor Jon Clarke is causing considerable commercial damage.

Anyone who believes it is "Well-researched" has a very different interpretation of that term from the rest of the world.

by Silentscope 26.09.21 10:17

Well scraped from previous reports more likely, generated by a multitude of sources, no doubt the results of SEO (search engine optimisation).

Suddenly being given only 5 Star ratings now in an attempt to push any bad Ratings on Amazon from its web pages.

No afraid I can't.

I did subscribe to the Olive Press but the crafty bugger has changed tactics. When I tried to log in recently, I was told I had already exceeded the first three free (trying saying that after a few) to view articles, you now have to pay for the privilege.

To that I say bignono

. I've already invested in the booky wook, I sure ain't going to put any more money in Clarke's moth eaten pockets!

He's got it all nicely sewn up - it all leads back to how much money he can make.

There are ways of viewing his tabloid by available downloads but it's tedious and really not worth the bother. Trying to screenshot or copy over is not easy, he's got that covered as well.

But their opinions have been overshadowed by an avalanche of one-star reviews . . . ?

I'm not sure they intended to say that.

by **Jill Havern** 27.09.21 10:56

I did not write the JH review.

I was not a policeman.

You're not often right Jon...but you're wrong again.

by **Jill Havern** 27.09.21 11:08

Most of the avalanche of 5* reviews, posted by fellow McCann supporters to get the 1* reviews off the radar, probably never even bought it, let alone read it.

big grin

by Silentscope 27.09.21 11:49

I suspect that the review placed by ‘JH’ was a pre planned plant Jill.

The Agenda is obviously to confirm Brückner as the Culprit, and to destroy any resistance to the chosen Narrative.

Along with all those that do not believe in it.

by **PeterMac** 27.09.21 12:02

And on Jon Clarke's own blogk advertising the book, the reviews are universally negative, and then the shills have to get in their replies afterwards.

These are only a few.
