If you haven’t been following the slowly-building SF/F fandom and genre dustup for the past few months, what follows may be of limited use to you, even if you follow the links. Fair warning.

...I may have fallen a little in love with you just now. (The lovely Natalie sent me.)

Aww, I'm flattered. It was kind of Natalie to link my ranting. Stay around if you like, although I don't use LJ but once in a blue moon, or find me else net as I use the same handle. :)

Feel free! And add me over there if you care to, I think you know my legal name (same over there as what I publish under.)

And you really don't have to worry about pissing me off. I'm a big pussycat 90% of the time.

Sweet gawdamn, that was amazing. But yeah, all this drives home that Wright is one hell of a psychological specimen - a former diehard libertarian who's converted to more of a statist worldview, arguing that all the dark qualities he ascribed to an overwhelming body politics are now assets.

Reasoned, passionate and *beautiful*. Respect, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you!

Kudos and thanks. ewanmcnay May 9 2014, 18:34:06 UTC

Prior to this - thank Scalzi for the redirect, I think - I knew neither you nor your writing. But that's a *glorious* piece; I wish that I had need of a lawyer in Tennessee, that I might hire you :). Thanks.

Well, thanks! You can dig around the "I am only a poet" tag if you want to see what I write other than rants.
