Why you're all here and I assume fans of Ellison, can anybody explain why he's so respected? I watched the documentary, I've read some of his works, and the combination of both is like adding rat poison to overly strong coffee.

What is it that lets you divorce his persona from the writing? Is there some trick I'm just not aware of? I feel the same way about Orson Scott Card too, I just can't read the books of a man who is so openly antagonistic to the gay, lesbian and bisexual communities.
