Sad

Cheryl's withdrawal from many of her current projects saddens me, although it doesn't surprise me.

If there is anyone out there who wants to continue to insinuate that the Hugo Awards are somehow "corrupt," and who has any better evidence than "I didn't win" or "The things I wanted to win didn't," I want them to actually come forward and produce it.

I've said this before and I'll keep saying it: The failure of works/people to win the Hugo Award that you want to win is not a failure of process. Why is it so difficult for people to get it through their heads that not everyone thinks exactly the same way they do? Is it so important to you to consider yourself The Standard Person?

After reading her post, my impression is that it's less "cut off nose to spite face" and more "bugger this for a larke" and FTS. Which I completely understand from personal experience.

"bugger this for a larke" - in American please? I think I'm language impaired :>

Basically the same as FTS (f*ck this sh*t). I was quoting a bit from Pratchett and Gaiman's Good Omens. :)

I might believe that were the act performed with a significantly different tone.
