I admit I was erring on the side of assuming good will when it's possibly not warranted.
To be clear, I am not talking about not reading books just because they are on the Sad Puppies list. Read what you like. If you truly think they are the best, vote for them. What I am wary of is playing into the agenda that books on the Sad Puppy list are more deserving of reading and votes because they are on that list, i.e. have been vetted by racist, homophobic misogynists who are organising to try to skew the voting.
