Sigh, it truly is sad when people get so fixated on their side winning that they say absurd things like that. Le Guin is one of the giants of SF&F and was one of those who got SF&F legitimized as something more than simple pulp. She's up there with people like Ray Bradbury, Arthur C Clarke and Asimov. She's won many, many of the top awards, even back in the day when those awards meant something. You may disagree with what she says, or view her as a cranky old woman now, but if you don't acknowledge her as one of the big names in SF&F, then you are either displaying your dogma or your ignorance.
