I should have been clear, I wasn't talking about this thread, but the comments on the Orbit post linked earlier on.
"Hey, man, would you like to participate in our totally voluntary Hugo voter packet? No pressure. Just don't refuse."
Of course, the three Orbit books might be considered the three legitimate books on the shortlist (I have my doubts about Mira Grant, but I'm willing to accept that other people might actually like her stuff), so where does that leave the people who want to "protest"? No Award?
