Starting to Get Angry

The report of Worldcon that appears under my name in Locus contains a story about Paula Guran throwing books during a panel. I did not write that part of the report, and if you look carefully at the byline of the article it says clearly that parts of the report were written by Locus staff. Paula wrote a rather amusing blog entry about the whole thing point out that the book throwing incident did not actually happen, but of course, given the way the blogopshere works, I’m starting to see reports that I told lies in my report and that Paula is angry with me. I suppose given the level of crap being spread over the past month that I can’t expect anything different, and that I must expect people to believe such stories. I doesn’t make it any more enjoyable. Yet another example as to why I shall never, ever write anything about the SF&F industry.
