Oh look - another "neutral, disinterested" Gamergater who turned out to be a pissed off reactionary. Shocker. https://mobile.twitter.com/Grummz/status/584511813653508096 …

Hi Adam, I support freedom of expression in art and the right of fans to vote for it. Hardly reactionary.
@adambarken -
@Grummz What exactly are you "taking back," then? Surely the previous awards were just as free and expressive. -
I am happy to see a large influx of fandom this year. Makes only makes it even better as a reflection of fans as more join.
@adambarken -
@Grummz way to not answer the question. Good luck taking the country back. It's a long and winning tradition. -
You and I disagree on the outcome of the last awards. I do not see being able to change your mind.
@adambarken -
@Grummz We're not disagreeing. I asked you a question, you won't answer it. -
.
@adambarken I think I did, but here: I do not believe that the previous year's Hugo awards reflected popular fandom. -
@Grummz and who's fault was that? Who perpetrated this gross misrepresentation? -
.
@adambarken An entrenched group of voters who narrowly reflect a preference for ideology and censure over quality and fan-dom.
@Grummz So you fought a progressive ideology by returning to a purer past. I wonder who would do that... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/reactionary …

@adambarken You are making several false assumptions: -
.
@adambarken The first is that what existed last year was "progressive" despite a nearly all-white roster. (c) -
@Grummz@adambarken and to be honest there wasn't much disabled or female representation either. -
.
@adambarken The second is that you feel that my goal to better reflect a totality of sci-fi fans is somehow "a purer past" -
.
@adambarken Lately, you are confusing the purpose of the award, which isn't to reward "progressiveness" but popular fandom. -
@Grummz So where are you "taking back" to? A shittier past? -
@Grummz@adambarken That is the diplomatic way to put it, yes. -
.
@adambarken I see you have exhausted all rational debate at this point and are engaging in petulant rudeness. Sorry, I stop there. -
@Grummz@adambarken Don't you know some voices/views need to be frozen out because they are the 'wrong' kind?
