Mr. Punch dealt with people who annoyed him by whacking them over the head with his stick. These days, violence of that sort is frowned upon, but you can still whack annoying people over the head metaphorically by doing good work. The response to an appalling racist diatribe by one maverick SFWA member last week was a spontaneous fund raising drive for the Carl Brandon Society and related causes that raised just short of $17,000.

WHACK!

That’s the way to do it! 🙂

Well done, science fiction and fantasy community.
