All I know is that Jean Rabe is a tremendously talented, kind-hearted generous person who has given her all to help writers over the decades I have known her.

The cover is...tame. Annoying is you really have nothing better to get worked up about, but tame...certainly less offensive than a lot of romance covers. Oh, but there's no uprising about beefcake covers. Seen plenty of Conan covers where the Barbarian is one mis-step away from terrible embarrassment.

The articles are undoubtedly sexist...fine, write, criticise, have a party. The wonderful thing about freedom of speech is letting small-minded people sound their ignorances in public for the whole world to see and then mocking them for it.

Everyone has grievances, especially in this day and age where it is trivial to round up the Internet lynch mob and try to silence a very politically incorrect voice.

I think Orson Scott Card is a total dink for his position on homosexuality and gay marriage but I wouldn't dream of saying he should be prevented from showing the whole world he is a bigot.

Creating such a tempest in a brazier* that Jean feels forced to resign is just shameful.

* Yes, that's intentional
