I fell into a Google timesuck hole last year on that Stop The Goodreads Bullies site. Someone named Eve Thomas self published a book that got a one-star review, and she lost her cookies. She also called the police and claimed the bad review was "international cyberterrorism." I also saw first-hand her harassing people on Twitter and their blogs.
She's since deleted much of it, of course. (The lady who was being harassed left her tweets up, but I don't feel like linking them publicly is a nice thing to do.)
I honestly think Hale sounds like a slightly less off-kilter version of Eve Thomas. SLIGHTLY less off-kilter.
It's even worse knowing Hale writes about the reviewer allegedly attacking a 14-year-old girl for some positive review. (I've searched for this but can't even find the review as quoted, let alone the attacks that the reviewer and her friends made on the 14-year-oold girl.) But the worst (per Hale) that happened was a random adult told the girl, "Fuck you."
Seems the peroxide incident has that beat by a mile.
