totally not the sad/rabid puppies nonono

[reddragdiva]

well, the sad/rabid puppies blew their dicks off. so let's float a totally different proposal to achieve much the same result: come on down, jay maynard! he proposes a “web of trust” that would start with oooh people like himself and might even extend as far as unpatriotic poltroons like john scalzi and david gerrold.

the comments on this are amazing. ctrl-f for “scalzi” or “sjw” for examples, or just any of jay’s explanations of his great idea.

(this appears to be the rumour grrm heard about a few days ago.)

john scalzi tells him to go fuck himself in detail. more in the comments on that one.

It is a pretty fine distinction (but I'm willing to grant they're not all Beale and they don't all think dragging in the 'gaters was the best idea ever)... but honestly, I only care that the implementation of the honestly-not-the-Puppy-Award is bad if it's so bad it puts off the Puppies.

And I do have to admit to having a bit more respect for Jay as (AFAIK) the only Puppy to seriously try to organise their own award instead of crapping on the Hugos.
