oh, sci-fi...

Frederick Pohl has apparently decided that Now Is The Time... for him to really let loose and rant about Robert Heinlein.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what the fuck this is about, but it's damned interesting in a "dear god, I didn't think I'd see this sort of shit from professionals, and by the way I wonder how long it'll take to make Fandom_Wank." Does it count for Fandom_Wank if it's professionals? I mean, professionals not bitching about their fans? o_O

My bad, I neglected the links to the other posts in the series. That's the most recent so far (I think) though it's 'to be continued.'

Altogether, all I can say is that it's a very odd collection of entries to link-hop across.

This is awfully cuddly, for a rant. I mean, it reads like "Heinlein was crazy because he was brilliant" rather than "Heinlein was crazy and also a sexist asshole, have you noticed?"

It's "to be continued," but it also links to the prior.

Seriously, I have no idea what's going on here. It is fairly affectionate for a rant... in parts...

I don't think it's meant to be a rant so much as reminiscing about both the good and bad parts of what seems to have been a long if occasionally frictional friendship.
