Very good interview. I long for the days when there were left of center SF authors, and right of center SF authors, and the tent was big enough for everyone and one side wasn't trying to take over and drive out their enemies. https://youtu.be/O1bZe7bdXMw

Pournelle did try to drive out “left of center” authors who disagreed with his neoconservative worldview.

From the science fiction community. He was hyperpolitical.

I know his politics ; I was just curious if you meant "from the SFWA", "from Baen", "from Worldcon" or what any links to info would be appreciated!

The most aggressive behavior *I* saw was online, on BIX.

Was he trying to drive people out of one discussion group, or SF as a whole?

ok, well, I accept that you saw it, but I can't weigh in without links Individual people, left right and center, have always been assholes, but I don't think that there's been any concerted industry-wide norm of this until recent years
