Commented on The unspeakable truth
I moved to Nicaragua in 2010. Here isn't problem-free, and has its own color biases but is lower key in how things are managed than not. We Anglos do risk being the undesirable element. I don't think moving to another...
Commented on Where Have All the Women Gone?
Damon Knight also attacked Phil K. Dick, who was quite a bit better than Knight. The typical literary hustler moves are (1) cultivate the young and easily flattered, (2) trash the competition, (3) put together anthologies or edit a magazine....
Commented on Where Have All the Women Gone?
As for women in mystery writing, Sisters in Crime seems to have been at least somewhat controversial in the mystery genre. One thing about SF is that often younger or newer male writers make their bones attacking or belittling older...
Commented on Where Have All the Women Gone?
One other thing -- women who try to do massive sorts of self-promotion tend to have that count against them, not for them. Or they end up with subscribers who are looking for mother figures and everything interesting gets derailed...
Commented on Where Have All the Women Gone?
Since my name has come up in this several times (followed the link from Eleanor Arnason's FaceBook page), I thought I'd drop round. I haven't been in IT since 2002, still friends with some of the people from the troll...

Ludvig Holberg commented on The unspeakable truth
then there'd have been an argument that it would have been tantamount to invocation. Just finished "The Annihilation Score". Isn't it a lovely coincidence that Article 50 shares its operating verb with demons and eldritch horrors?...
Barry commented on The unspeakable truth
"Really: - this is the little man & woman giving "the establishment" a damned good kicking, & to hell with whatever the result of the result was or is. IF the labour party had even bothered to campaign AT ALL, other than half-heartedly in the last 3 weeks, I suspect the result would have been different." Greg, you argued for Leave; you presented a large number of bad arguments for Leave; when they were rebutted you remained (!!) for Leave. This is your flustercluck....

"So Britain shuts down immigration and the economy remains poor, with poor prospects then What? How long before people wake up to the real source of the problem?" Well, it looks like 52% of the people who voted swallowed everything that the Austerians told them about Evil Furriners being the cause of their problems, so don't hold your breath............
Barry commented on The unspeakable truth
"Farage has already withdrawn the promise of 350 mil a week for the NHS. That was quick." The dew had not yet dried on the morning of the not-so-glorious Leave Day when the leaders of the movement pretty much said that it was all a lie....
George Carty commented on The unspeakable truth
Speaking of Syrian refugees, I've been thinking again about those gang-rapes in Cologne. I don't believe any genuine refugees would commit such heinous acts, as it is obviously an act of treachery against both their host country and against their fellow refugees. It is also clear that these crimes greatly stoked hatred of refugees (along with more general xenophobia) and strengthened the extreme right across Europe. Given that Putin is clearly aiming to undermine the EU and has been bankrolling Europe's far-right parties (including the Front National) with this in mind, how likely is it the rapes were perpetrated by...
