Some people are treating it as a victory over the idiot Puppy campaigns*, but it still looks like everyone loses to me.
*If you think SF fandom has "gone wrong", somehow, then maybe try picking a great book and getting behind it, instead of flooding the ballot with mediocrities and insulting and alienating the neutrals whose votes you need.

There where no stories nominated by Trolls, If you think so then you have a problem. You do not like a story--or any of the stories in a category--then do not vote in that category, please do not vote "no award".
I have no problems with organized campaigning for or a against a book/story, I do have a problem with organized campaigning for a "no award" especially if based on the authors politics not the merits of the story.
If I let "the politics of the author" pick my list of authors "I" like to read, it would be very short.
I hope we can leave off this
in a couple of days until next year.
