The Hugo clusterfuck. Im probably off base, but heres what ive seen:

A group of people think they get to choose what is good or bad regardless of what actually is good or bad.

A group of people who would like there to be a reasonably level playing field

A handful of authors/bloggers who mistakenly think of themselves as the only adults in the room, telling everyone how they should behave.

Of the three, i find the last most irritating.

In the end, it has introduced me to some new authors that i enjoy. So ill take it. A net positive in my book. And bookshelf.
