Yep, We Need Fewer of Me, All Right

I have learned that I'm an Abusive Hugo Nazi and that the world would be a better place without people like me.

It is any wonder that even I sometimes get fed up with fandom? Yep, without people like me and the hundreds of other people who knock themselves out running things, she wouldn't have any conventions to go so, nor any Hugo Awards to complain about for that matter.

And remember, I'm one of those people who thinks that we do charge too much for Hugo voting rights, and would be happier to have the cost closer to $20 than $50! I wonder what she would make of the people who like the system exactly the way it is right now and don't see anything negative about it at all?

Maybe I should ask Chaz for some HUGO NAZI ribbons?

"Nazi" is the ping word here. Nazis persecuted people for status offenses, in their case racial heritage (among other things). But there is no movement to keep Hugo voting rights to the SFnal equivalent of Aryans. Anybody can vote, if they sign up. They don't have to pass a test (though I've seen it only semi-jokingly suggested that a test should be administered to prospective fans).

I'm nhot really happy with her references to abuse, either.
