Never liked Ellison, not the writing, not the man. He reminds me of one of those blowhards down the pub who have one-too-many and start mouthing of. Is he talented, I wouldn't know, having read only a few of his shorts and not liking any of them, it would be a hard judgement to make. Didn't know about the groping incident, which further taints my impression of him. Same happened with Asimov, once I found out about his 'wandering hands', just put me off completely. I'm not even going to mention Orson Scott Card and the bile he produces in my throat.
