It's kind of funny that their paranoid delusion that the Hugos were dominated by a clique and won by unpopular political works is pretty much definitely true of the Dragons.

If the puppies claim the majority of fans will go for puppy type books and the dragon con mostly awarded to puppy type books and there is no proof of any gaming of the system, isn't it possible they were correct?
