Of the novella nominations, "Flow" was decent; the three Wright entries 
were the type of thing I thought they wanted to get away from; and the 
fifth nominee appeared to be a reject from a late-run Bolo collection 
with the serial numbers scraped off.

But they made it look like there are. And perception is what

25% is a big enough majority that they should be given some 
consideration. "Tyranny of the majority" isn't a good thing.

Which is to say, you agree that the Puppies were _correct_ when 
they predicted that voting would not be based on the quality of the 
writing, and you apparently agree that it shouldn't be.

You made their point.

Except that's not, in any way, part of the Hugo process. The 
process is, "pay your $40 and you get to nominate and vote." They 
very carefully followed the rules, and as they predicted, they were 
excluded, not because of the quality of the works nominated (which 
many publicly vowed not to read), but because they were outsiders, 
and the elite in charge don't like outsiders who won't suck up 
properly.

Again, you make their point.

They said that the people involved in the Hugos didn't believe in 
the rules, and they were right and you have agreed. They said 
they'd be excluded from the awards, not because of the quality of 
the works, but because of exclusion politics of the community, and 
they were right, and you have agreed. They said the Hugos have 
nothing to do with the quality of the writing, and they were right, 
and you have agreed.

They were sort of correct in the result, but not about the reasons.

They predicted they would be biased against because they were too
right-wing, or not part of the "inner circle", etc.

That was not why they were biased against.  People voted against them
because they did not like the way they tried to push their way in - or the
accusations they threw around.

The big 'conspiracy' against them did not exist before the Puppy campaign
started - it came into being as a result.  

Their acts created an opposition where none had existed before - and then claims
victory because they had predicted that they would be opposed.
A self-fulfilling prophecy if ever there was one.

And? They, or rather, the Worldcon insiders, proved beyond any 
doubt that the quality of the work doesn't matter. That they will 
vote the awards based on their opinions of the authors and the 
people promoting the work. They *said* so, publicly, quite a few 
times, and advocated others do the same.

Calling it a conspiracy is overstating the case, at least in common 
usage (conspracies do not rquire conscious planning and 
cooperation, really, they can arise spontaneously, as this one 
did). But certainly there was a willingness to come together and 
protect the view of what should get awards _that was not based on 
the quality of the works_, that was deeply embedded in the Worldcon 
culture. There's no question of that at all any more.

	No. They voted based on "You guys are deliberately gaming the awards 
and trying to force shit down our throats, so we will reject your game."

	Nothing in there about the opinion of the people OR the works, although 
there was plenty of that on both sides.

That's what I said. That's _exactly_ what I said. They're not 
voting on the merits of the writing, and they are encouraging 
others to do the same.

You're not usually so dense as to claim "we're not playing your 
game" is not a judgement on the person. Really? You're that 
invested in this, that you've lost your impartiality *that* far?

It’s not: it’s a judgement of the action.  It’s not in the
least incompatible with ‘I understand your motive and
sympathize with your position, but this isn’t the way to
effect the desired change’.  Mind you, I’ve little doubt
that in many cases it slops over into a judgement of the
person or even is slopover *from* a judgement of the
person, but it is not in itself such a judgement.

Bullshit. More pasive/aggressive bullying from the liberal left. At 
least conservative wingnuts admit when they're calling people 
names.

That's judging the message by judging the messenger. It's an error 
in science, and it's an error in literature.

Let's translate this in to a different (and exaggerate for effect) 
context:

Let's say you're on a jury for a murder trial. At the beginning of 
the trial, the prosecution gets up and says "The bastard did it, 
and we have proof." And the defense gets up and says "The 
prosecution is lying, and *we* have proof." And in the course of 
the trial, the prosecution presents their evidence and testimony, 
and it makes a compelling case for guilt. Then the defense gets up 
and proves, beyond any possible doubt, that the prosecution's star 
witnesses lied, under oath, about things that matter in the trial, 
and they they had mishandled key evidence in a way that taints the 
entire case.

But the defense attorney is a complete and utter asshole, and 
deliberately presents his case in way that will publicly humiliate 
the prosecutor to the greatest degree possible. No laws are broken, 
no court procedures are violated, but the damage to the 
prosecutor's repulation is great, and permanent.

Do you vote to condemn the defendant because you don't like his 
attorney?

You disagree that it's a logical error to judge the messange based 
on your opinion of the messenger? You're really willing to put that 
on the record in a public forum?

Thank you for sharing _The True Believer_. It goes a long way towards
exposing successful modern politicians. Not altruistic pols, mind you,
just successful pols. 

Beale must be "bad dog" if he truly exploits it, Machiavellian style.
So the other dawg must be "good dog" (at least in the eyes of some).

Regardless, thank you again.

For this year. It'd be more effective for him to loudly denounce 
Beale early in the process next year, using this year's debacle as 
ammo. "Don't let this wingnuts ruin this year's Hugos, too!"

I don't think it was a debacle really, even if it could have gone
better. Despite talk about "nuclear option", nothing I've heard came
even close (say WSFS amendments targeting slates, and no, EPH doesn't
count, the Sad Puppies should be embracing it).

But yeah, denouncing Vox Day (Performance Artis & Internet Troll) is
obviously in their interest, but I'm not sure they've understood that.

There's two obvious additional steps they could choose to do that I
can think of that would bring back much of the credibility Torgersen
flushed down the toilet.

* Don't promote 5 names, promote 2-3 ones instead. Going for 5
candidates is an obvious attempt to drown out your opponents! (neither
SP1 nor SP2 did this).

Later if EPH has passed they can ramp it up again if they choose but
I'd suggest keep the second point in mind so they don't accidentally
kill their own better choices and end up with the 1-2 worst works from
their slate and kills the chance for an actual win!

* Come up with better candidates, they can do that while still being
consistent with their stated goal. Cutting down the number of
candidates will help with this.

And if they actually DO want to be taken serious, they need to stop
that the CRAP with inventing demeaning titles and acronyms. Social
Justice Warrior / SJW is the most prominent example of course.

Note that this would actually bring them (mostly) in-line with SP1 and
SP2 campaigns.

What Torgersen did for SP3 is much more consistent with "lets make
sure only our works are on the final voting form" than their actual
stated goals in my opinion. Part of their criticism is about being
shut out, so it's very hard to not read this as intentional.

I will point out that only the Rabid Puppy list went for 5 per 
category. IIRC, the Sad Puppy list had only 4 novels, 3 novellas, 4 
novelettes, and 5 short stories (one of which was replaced by a 
Wright short story on the Rabid list).

I would not name fewer items; I would go up to 10 or more for each 
professional fiction category. That would make the list look more 
like a recommended list, not a slate.

Why not call it a recommended list, and list 10-20 works that you
recommend people to *read* before they nominate?  That would actually be
useful, as well as giving you the perfect opportunity to showcase works
that you think people are overlooking.
