The notion that people would boycott all Authors Guild members because the Guild took a position they didn't like on one issue boggles the mind. All one can say in that case is, so long, and thanks for all the fish.
As a point of information, the Guild stands up for the rights of authors on all kinds of issues. I don't agree with them on every single thing. Why should I expect to? I don't even agree with myself on everything. Nor do I expect all of the membership to have a sophisticated understanding of ebooks and new technologies. (That will come in time, I hope.)
I doubt that the Guild will get much traction on this one. But I don't think it's a bad thing to have an open discussion about it.
A large number of writers belong to the Authors Guild, BTW, but nowhere near 99%, I think.
