Hugos Refuse To Award Anyone Rather Than Submit To Fans' Votes
An anonymous reader writes: You may remember way back in April there was a bit of a kerfuffle over the nominees for the Hugo Awards being "too conservative" based on a voting campaign organized by a group of science fiction fans who wanted to promote hard science fiction over more recent nominees. This was spun as conservatives "ruining" a "progressive" award. The question was left: would the final voters of the Hugo awards accept these nominees, or just take their ball home and refuse to give out anyway awards at all? The votes are in and we know the answer now: they'd rather just not give out any awards. (Wired has a slightly different slant on the process as well as the outcome of this year's awards.)
The "not your shield" campaign was exposed as being mostly sock puppet accounts. Your account is quite young and has only three posts to its name, the first of which was this one. I can't get the link to your G+ account to work, but searching there I can see two sock puppet accounts with that name and stolen profile photos (Tineye reverse image search).
So who are you really?
