That was an unhinged response by Cordova in my opinion. Perhaps he is trying to channel some of that Correia attitude to rally the fans against someone who wants them to succeed? Make it make sense. Regardless, good luck to Baen Books and I hope they survive as reading books focuses the mind and allows folks to think better and critically.
Fewer people read for fun. I think TV and radio are the junk or snack food equivalent of reading and the Internet and social media elevates that to illicit drug levels. Junk food and recreational drugs alone destroys and takes lives. Reading on the other hand is like eating healthy and exercising.
I didn't cover his comments because they weren't newsworthy, but he mocked the idea of Fandom Pulse promoting authors with some childish posts. The unprofessionality of the SF/F industry is astounding.
The network of writers and publishers associated with the OG Sad Puppies campaign is operating from an assumption of ill-will toward those associated with the Rabids. IDK myself which came first, nor the reasons, though I can make a case for both sides to have or believe the other side is motivated by ill will.
Considering the high number of Christians on both sides, it would behoove everyone involved to, as Mr. Samwise said to Faramir, "take the opportunity to show your quality".

All y'all have it and to spare.
It's sad, to be honest. I keep hoping they'll act like professionals and keep getting disappointed.
Fandom Pulse is not what I would call a reputable source of info anyway. They can't seem to be impartial with their reporting. LOL
