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.

I did decide not to take part this year after seeing the shortlists and realising there wasn't much there for me. (I picked up the non-Puppy novel nominees - and indeed one of the withdrawn Puppy nominees - myself.)
I don't really see how you can argue that someone ought to vote on the merits of the story while it's OK not to nominate for the shortlists on the same basis.
The shortlists were gamed and the electorate didn't take kindly to that. That's how things work out under the current rules.
