I can't imagine what it feels like to have started such a gathering off as a kind of inside joke, to watch it grow and become series, to have it become part of the proceedings, and to finally have the money to make it a big deal, only to then be faulted for that. I'm sympathetic!

I appreciate the love GRRM has for the Hugos as an institution, but the institution is not the same as the people who comprise it, who appear on the ballots each year, and when his parties and nostalgic speechifying alienate those people... who or what is he serving, really?

If GRRM and worldcon want the Hugos to both retain the legacy they already have while continuing to have a future, then the issue of how the ceremony is handled, who runs the parties and who is included in both will need to be dealt with sooner rather than later.
