My last comment on Wiscon, Elizabeth Moon, and the Islamic Community Center
I have been, more or less compulsively, following the blog postings and debates, from both sides of the issue, precipitated by Elizabeth Moon’s September 11 blog post. Moon, as everyone on earth and most of the extra-galactic sentient universe now … Continue reading

Comments Off on My last comment on Wiscon, Elizabeth Moon, and the Islamic Community Center
Conceding with grace
I have many thoughts about the controversy involving feminist science-fiction convention Wiscon and its decision to rescind its Guest of Honor invitation to Elizabeth Moon. I’m not going to discuss this topic directly right now–it’s much too large and tangled … Continue reading
