I am getting the impression from posts here that all with the Hugo's was as pure as driven snow before the advent of the Puppies. Human nature and politics, however, make this quite unlikely. What the Puppies have done is to introduce one very public slate for their group. But before this, how did nominations work in practice? Was there a particular group that dominated such nominations, whether out of their own strength or the apathy of others? I have been an avid reader of SyFy from virtually the time I could read. But I am not a fan in the sense used. I have never attended a convention nor taken any special interest in the Hugo's or other awards. I do not have an axe to grind. But I can see fault here on both sides of the fence. And I don't see much of a future for these awards.
