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.
I consider both to be "voting with the intention to destroy an award".

But kudos to Mr. Beale for having the honesty to admit it.


I have yet to make up my mind which group I find more reprehensible.
