    T.J., you are so right. Like you, I am a longtime SF fan, and even in my younger days, the female authors were knocking the ball out of the park. Not only Anne McCaffrey, but DC Fontana, CJ Cherryh, Lois McMaster Bujold, Sherri Tepper to name a few, Cherryh still being top of the list for me, ahead of the rest regardless of gender. It’s so sad that when the majority feels threatened, their instinctive reactions are aggression and insults. You’d think that in the SF genre – which celebrates differences – they’d be a little higher up the evolution tree and no longer leaning on their knuckles…

    Take the puppies to the vet. A quick snip often resolves antisocial behavior. Seriously, the Worldcon committee needs to set and enforce rules that allow them to cancel and ban members who issue threats.
