24/ Notice the jujitsu here: if you respect old authors for writing great stuff (Lovecraft) or old editors for building enthusiasm (Campbell) then you are RACIST and are driving people away.

25/ More of the jujitsu here: she's turned this into an either / or, fallacy of the excluded middle. She declares, with zero evidence, that appreciating the dead means that you hate the living / current wave of SF authors and fans.https://twitter.com/aliettedb/status/1289656583220129792 …

26/ In fact, these are orthogonal. You can like or dislike the past masters, and you can like or dislike the current generation. (In fact, I like the past masters and dislike the current authors, but the connection is not causal; it's two distinct opinions)

27/ What part of it is false? My assertion that the current gatekeepers of SF are the major publishers of SF, and that they're left of center? Why do you think that that's false? https://twitter.com/shaunduke/status/1290410267394871296 …

28/ I didn't IGNORE it. I QUOTED it. And then I asked you for clarification, with my two hunches as to what you were talking about. That question still stands.

31/ I agree it's not rocket science. So ... what part of tweet #5 in this sequence do you think is false? That Tor, etc are left of center? Or something else? There were multiple claims in my tweet. https://twitter.com/shaunduke/status/1290412416141066245 …
