I have asked Goodreads to take down a couple of erroneous entries. They said the same thing—once it's up, it's up, that's our policy. It's a funny way to run a candy shop.

Lev, I do not believe comments to GoodReads Mgmt are taken seriously at all.

A child predator and convicted felon has an account there.

I know Peter's background very well because I once had him ejected from my poetry critique group.

Incredible that he once taught vulnerable teenage boys at Oxford.

Yes, he has served time in prison in Britain and the charges reported from his trial were daunting and horrifying. He refused to admit at his trial that grooming boys was wrong and neither was making and "collecting" (and selling) images of them, etc.

My information about Peter -- with ample links -- was not replied to.

Shortly after my report, his name was "suggested" to me as a GoodReads connection! WTF?

A bit more serious than reporting an incorrect Eliot quote ----- but the outcome was the same and there you have it.
