Not being a member of the SFWA I hadn’t put much priority on finding out how much of a stain Beale is. “Spacebunny” … Um. For a libertarian he doesn’t have much conception of the idea of a voluntary organization if he is going to respond to cultural and electoral defeat in this kind of childish manner. And voluntary-ness goes both ways. The SFWA has already seceded from poop-smearing numbskulls like Beale; it makes me feel just fine that the other “libertarians” who defend him and throw around TANSTAAFL as a catch-all response find themselves socially on the outs. They are certainly free to add the SFWA to the tattered list of enemies hanging in the breeze out of the liner of their tinfoil hats.
