But that's Scalzi's normal online personality. I very much prefer his published fiction to his online thoughts, and have learned to avoid the latter for the most part.

I'm not saying that Amazon didn't screw up, BTW. Were I Bezos, I would have kept Macmillan titles in the store, but at list price -- and with an explanation of why.
