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?

And you are reading the rules out of context and ignoring the rest of the WSFS Constitution, including the section that explicitly allows administrators to count nominations in what you would consider the "wrong" category.

But you've picked out a few words and decided that's all there is, and of course you know better than anyone else, so none of the rest of the WSFS Constitution matters, nor does years of precedent. All that matters is that one sentence you found, nothing else.

I challenge you again to come up with something that cannot possibly be misinterpreted, especially by someone like you, who wants to find a misinterpretation.
