[QUOTE="EKovarr, post: 9268468, member: 7044826"] I really, really need to see the rest of those emails! I only have one and thought it was the only one. Do you know where to find them? I also didn't follow all the File 770 threads (I've been ill) and clearly I should have. Thank you. Now that I know I might have been wrong I'll refrain from saying anything of substance until I catch up. But there is one very important thing to consider: other than Diane 'leaking' internal email everyone is treating internal discussions the way they should be, internal. People can say anything they like on File 770 about Dave and he's not going to correct them nor defend himself. What "we know" is easily countered: he Chaired a convention with about 6,000 members. At the same time holding down a paying job - from the smallest to Worldcon level everyone is a volunteer. Thing is I don't need to be told about the Puppies: I'm one of those WSFS folks, was part of the discussions after it hit the news and, as always attended the Business Meeting where the vote took place. I'm deeply disappointed by my people; they were reacting, not acting and had they taken more time they would have calmed down and we'd have something better than EPH. One even brought in a ringer. Now folks are trying to legislate morality. File 770 was a lot better when it was a monthly. People wrote letters instead of just firing off responses. It's where I got my start: I had the write the In Memoriam for a dear friend for the Worldcon book and asked Mike for help. He came to my rescue, an amazing editor. When I met him at the pre-Hugo reception, my first, he asked me to write an article for him! Later on, when he'd reported something based on a scurrilous letter and only some of the facts I got in touch with him to let him know what happened, during the letter exchanges he surprised me by publishing one of my letters as a column. These days people don't have to think about their responses, they just fire them off, people fire off a response to that, etc., by now mostly the same group of people. Going back to the top, thank you for letting me know there are other sources of information on this subject. If I'm wrong or might be wrong I want to know. [/QUOTE]
