And you confirm all I have heard of Hugo fandom's tendency to not give a shit about criticism with your answers. I thought my view of people associated with the Hugos was prejudiced by the vocal haters of my online friends, but you have confirmed they are right. Any criticism of the Hugos is really met with a reaction that is basically "you are not one of us, so shut up".
I guess it would hurt to actually take note of my point that the Hugo rules are just guidelines, and that it is up to the committee to abide by them. But I guess being part of the "Hugo crowd" is more important to you than being part of the discussions that SFF fans want about them. I don't expect you to give me any more answers, because you have already made it clear that I'm not part of the people who matters as I only have the written Hugo rules to go by and is not part of any decision that is taken by a small group who doesn't think their decisions should be made public (aka the Hugo committee).
