So, last night the SJW types over at the Hugo awards decided they'd rather burn the whole thing to the ground than give out an award based on what the readers like instead of social justice reasons:
The members of the World Science Fiction Society rejected the slate of finalists in five categories, giving No Award in Best Novella, Short Story, Related Work, Editor Short Form, and Editor Long Form. This equals the total number of times that WSFS members have presented No Award in the entire history of the Hugo Awards, most recently in 1977.
Here are a few of the people on the #SadPuppies slate that should be quite surprised to learn that they were denied a chance at an award for being white males when they wake up this morning: Rajnar Vajra, Larry Correia, Annie Bellet, Kary English, Toni Weisskopf, Ann Sowards, Megan Gray, Sheila Gilbert, Jennifer Brozek, Cedar Sanderson, and Amanda Green.

Your submission is biased. I do not find myself to be a fan or your work. Maybe your good at running the site, but frankly I don't find your submissions to be thought provoking, or intelligent. It seems like you just want to stir the pot, and validate your own personal opinions in the comments.
Personally I would appreciate it if you kept your biases to yourself, no matter how good you are at coding the site.

Yeah, that's more or less fair except for one bit. I don't run the site, I just code it and might bounce the web front end if nobody else is around and it needs it. NCommander and paulej72 are our primary admins. The artist formerly known as juggs, mrcoolbp, and NCommander do the decision-making on Vision things.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
