In case you missed it, Alice Hoffman read a lukewarm review of her new book, got mad, posted the reviewer's phone number on Twitter (while encouraging people to "Tell her what u think of snarky critics") which (shocker of shocks) got people all riled up, so she deleted her Twitter account and has since apologized. Sort of.

Apparently, Hoffman's not the only one throwing hissy fits.
Sheesh, touchy much?

And a couple more, old and new!
Makes you wonder if publicists will ask other authors to jump on the bandwagon.
