YA SF/F novels are still SF/F novels. I fully approve any writer who can write good YA stuff. Just because it's for youngsters doesn't mean it has to be bad.
We have sampled enough of so-called writing, thanks to his blog and no one should have any qualms abous his qualifications for his racism and unpleasantness. His Hugo nominated work, on the other hand, appears to be a solidly written pile of turd. Even then some might like it - there's no account for taste.

Funnily enough, Hugo has zero with the New York-based publishing industry since Hugo nominees are nominated by World Con attendees and voted by the next World Con attendees. Anyone who can spare some cash for a supporting membership can nominate and vote as they like.
If you were talking about the Nebula awards, however, you might have been right.
Especially at this age, publishing a book via Kindle is trivial and if a so-called "wrong type of person" writes a good book, he will be able to sell it, or made it read enough to be nominated. The award to related-work went to a fucking blog post, and rightly so, it was a well written article related to SF. Three of the stories who won were "printed" on Tor's web site.
Any idiot who can design a web site and gather enough readers who will like it and nominate it in the next World Con has the chance of winning the next Hugo, no conspiracy required.

[Citation Needed] The only shithole that has been expelled was done so because he used SFWA channels for his own racist propoganda. Until then he was still a member of the SWFA while being an active obnoxious asshole.
If you're attempting to say successful and best-seller writers like Scalzi and co. are "amateurs", I think youre more than deluded.

System is run by World Con attendees. You can join and take over with your rightwing friends, if you have the majority. Good luck.

But GOP has been telling everyone that people who follow the conservative view are richer, has better employment and more cash to spend on the capitalist system. Hence you would have thought that they would be able to afford to go to WorldCons or buy a way cheaper supporting membership and still be able to vote w/o attending the convention by person.
Hence, I can only conclude, you're talking out of your orifice usually used to expel brown smelly stuff.
Science is not wrong. We get new knowledge and gain from it, refining our ideas about the past, instead of getting stuck with our heads deep in our asses and insisting the world was created 4004BC, on a particular October day, 23th to be exact.
If a spring was helping him, IMHO, he wouldn't be the 9th, but the first. I am sure his kit has been tested and found fit according to the regulations.
There were multiple transcontinental flights in that path at that time. The MH17 wasn't the only one nor the NOTAM was covering them, they were legally flying over the closed airspace. Of course, that distinction won't stop a twat throwing a missile at you.
Looks like the bastards were under the impression that Russians had closed the whole airspace down whereas the NOTAM only closed it up to 32k feet, the flight was at 33k feet and legally flying over the area...
The captured audio calls between the rebel scum clearly show they thought it was a military plane.
IMHO, Matt Groening's real genius can be seen in Life in Hell sketches. The Simpsons is a pale mismash of typical American values compared to Life in Hell.
City of London Police is a private police force covering the City of London (a tiny bit of London) which takes its orders not from the Government but from the City of London Corporation directly. They are also an 'expert' in fraud and do their best by not finding any within the City borders.
They also employ thugs worse than usually found within the Police service for the rest of London, The Metropolitan Police Service. Also there is no elected commissioner (unlike the rest of the country) for this police force, it's totally separate and he is assigned by the Corporation - which is run by the rich corporates in the area.
It's totally fascist, whatever way you look at it.

My money is on Zeus. If Zeus and Flying Spagetthi Monster had a fight and I know who would end up being the lunch.
Never piss off Zeus. He might turn into a bull and shag you to the next Tuesday.

Not all runners can -afford- the $500 shoes. A lot of third world country athletes train in abject provety.
I guess a dot at 6K looks the same as a dot from a larger target at 10K.

Erm, "he should have stopped before doing those" because he never did those?
They are completely unauthorized drawings and not done by him.

Occassionaly I look at 90s Dilbert cartoons - those are really funny, these days, a constant stream of "meh"...
In the London occupations, people learned that their batons are as hard as the rest of them.
