That's the part that gets me. The SP/RP faction is literally a group of conspiracy theorists, and their solution to the conspiracy is to make... another conspiracy! But out in the open, where everyone can see it!

I mean, if their premise is correct - that a secret cabal has been gaming the nominations - then why hasn't the Righteous Majority the Puppies claim to represent "kicked over the table" by using the No Award protest tactic that's being discussed by some non-Puppies this year? It's not a new provision in the rules, after all.

I just can't follow their stated reasoning at all.
