In contrast, Ringo's other works range from old school space adventure:

...to light urban fantasy...

...to space opera...

Even this most (deservedly) controversial Baen author is more than just the caricature he's portrayed as.
BAEN is a small-ish publisher with a varied cstalog from a lot of different authors. They're not all John Ringo. In fact, even John Ringo isn't "John Ringo".
BAEN isn't out to deliver literature, just fun reads for SF/fantasy readers.
That is hardly a crime.
