I've never been to LibraryThing. Not sure I want to start after reading these stories, though.
I stopped looking at my Goodreads ratings after a short time there. I've noticed that anywhere people can rate without giving reviews, the overall ratings tend to be lower. At Amazon they have to rate and review, so I think people tend to only review books they loved or hated, while people who thought a book was just halfway decent or okay tend to decline.
