Beset From All Sides

[kevin_standlee]

Some of you who read this LJ may be interested in the discussion happening on this item on SF Awards Watch, where I'm informed that WSFS is doing a bunch of things I don't think we're doing (such as claiming that the Hugo Awards represent All of Fandom), and we're certainly mis-administering the Hugo Awards, and that it's a terrible shame that we actually charge anything to vote, since Poll Taxes Are Evil, but also awful that we let the members make the nominations, because Voters Have Terrible Taste.

As I pointed out in one of my comments, I'm usually beset from all sides. I'm a bomb-throwing lunatic who would Destroy As All according to the conservatives, and a Hidebound Old Fogey according to the radicals.

If you want to comment, I'd prefer you do so over there, not here.

It also prevents lots of us from following anything here directly; I only get over here when Kevin reminds me of something in *his* LJ. The "friends list" is the killer ap for this decade.

Not my problem. If you want to stick with a proprietary standard that won't work with the rest of the Internet then you have to accept the limitations of that standard. There are plenty of other feed-monitoring services (Bloglines, Google Reader, for example) that work just fine.
