If you think voting with the intention to destroy an award is OK I think you have a disgusting opinion. Refusing to state that you think this kind of voting is wrong is just for me confirmation that you have this kind of opinion.

tompe, you keep repeating "voting with the intention to destroy an award", that isn't what the Sad Puppies were doing, they were attempting to get what they classed as more entertaining works nominated and that works were getting nominated more on diversity checkboxes than merit. You can easily argue that you didn't like their choices, but it was started because they didn't like the current choices, tastes differ.
Rabid Puppies are a different matter of course, but as far as I know nobody is defending Beale, the only reason they keep getting mentioned is because one (non-puppy) side keeps conflating the 2 groups.
