In spite of the fact that I love science fiction as a genre, I have never really followed the Hugo awards. (I don't follow Oscars either). Whenever the Hugo issue is raised here, my eyes glaze over, and I move on to something else.
So the kerfuffle about the Hugos over the last few years always confused me a bit. This article gave me at least one side of the issue, and some solid reasons why I might care about this.
I don't know what the consensus is in this community of readers, so forgive me if I've stepped on any toes here, but I found this article interesting.
