SFWA members paid those writers 8 cents a word for six pages of "dialogue" that called those of us who disagreed with them "fascists," among other things. Said we were anonymous (when our complaints were accompanied by name and photo in the forum), and that we wished to censor them, when we asked for respect. I won't pay $90 a year to be told on a quarterly basis that I am less worthy than others in the organization.

SFWA does a lot of amazing things and I am pleased to know a lot of the people doing those amazing things, but sadly those do not make up for the elephant in the room. An elephant I hope is finally going to be handled.

If staying is the right choice for you, I hope good comes of it. Leaving was the right choice for me and me alone.
