In your opinion. So you didn't vote for it, right? I mean, I don't think it was his best work, and I didn't vote for it, but that's the fun of these things, you get to voice your opinion with your vote, and evidently a lot of people liked it a lot better than we did.

Oh yeah, I've heard that one. It's pushed by the game group that thinks that the pizza place had an underground pedo ring. No, wait, it's that chemtrails are being released to control our minds! Nope, or that the Clintons run an international crime ring.

Believing that there's a clique that does that, and that it impacts to final choice is on par with that. This isn't the Rapid Puppies, the rules changes have made block voting pretty much irrelevant.

I think you're really overestimating the amount of coordination it would take to stuff a ballotbox at a sci-fi convention. Especially when the authors have a vested interested in doing so and a fanbase willing to act in their favor. As before, what proofs would convince you?

The winner last year (Kowal's excellent novel The Calculating Stars) had more than 100 first-choice ballots over the second place finisher. So it's possible, but unlikely, and as you are the one asserting conspiracy, the burden of proof is on your side.

I don't mind accepting the burden but I should know what the standard is, defined with particularity. For some reason people don't like to articulate the amount or nature of evidence that they would actually find convincing. Maybe afraid they'll actually be convinced.

OK, show me evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Calculating Stars won due to block voting.

"beyond a reasonable doubt" is a standard that's only required for criminal convictions - not even for lesser court cases "preponderance of evidence" is fare more reasonable, and the fact that it's one block voting lists is a pretty good start
