Any books on this slate are gamed and if any of these gamed books win, they don't actually win, but lose big time. So having Skin Game be games by these people/groups is worse than never having gotten a single nomination. Don't be happy/proud that Skin Game is on the list. Be upset and angry that Skin Game is on the list. I would have much more respect for Jim Butcher is he was to bow out. Connie Willis deserves a lot of respect for declining to host the Hugo Awards. She is standing up for her principles. Those that got gamed and are not bowing out are going to lose respect.

Um, sure... the problem is, not everyone has to care about the Hugos at all.
Also, has Jim Butcher agreed to host them instead? Or are you simply angry at him because he
doesn't have the power, whether he cares or not, to forbid them from considering his books?
