How Dare You Not Give Me Five Stars?

There is an author who was doing this recently the last couple of months and responding to a lot of critics in a way that felt very high and mighty. The kernel they're pointing out is it's really unfair that Goodreads doesn't have half steps because people are responding to my book by saying, "This is a four and a half star book" It comes across as, yeah, how dare you not give me five stars? Yep. And so they are poking the hornet's nest kind of on purpose.
