ding ding ding!
I mean, people clearly fucked up the handling of the complaint, but it seems clear that president-elect thought he could turn this whole situation to his advantage.
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
I was just amazed to learn RWA's president elect was named Damon Suede.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Wait, so a big chunk of the board of directors quit, and the president-elect that apparently turned the ethics complaint into a kangaroo court immediately becomes president AND gets to name replacement board members?
That was my take away, too. WTF?!?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
. . . and now they're trying to invalidate the recall petition on procedural grounds? I'm going to have to go to Costco tomorrow, there's not enough popcorn on this island.

In the course of cleaning up computer files, my friend Sara found that she had e-books of Nomad Velour's firefighter porn. (In her defense she bought them 10 years ago and it wasn't for the deathless prose, but even by those standards - wow.)
