I popped over after reading Scalzi's blog and the offending article in question. It really sounds like all this guy wants to do is whine about the Hugo list not matching his tastes, and for good measure call out Scalzi's work in particular.
It came across like he has a beef with particular authors getting recognition than any kind of credible and well thought out criticism of the Hugos. I say this as someone new to the whole Hugos and Worldcon process but that's my two cents.

Great commentary over there by the way.
