Though I don't recall Ray ever claiming that what he wrote wasn't SF, and he's been a GoH at various SF conventions.
Ellison is more amusing, as back before he became a selling pro he was an active SF fan, and a member of what was referred to as "Seventh Fandom" at the time (early 60's). He's been doing his best to distance himself from those humble origins.
An old friend and SF writer once commented "I know Harlan a bit, and we get along, but people who are meeting him for the first time don't understand why folks like us who've known him for decades think he's
mellowed."
