I never heard of him before this, so then I looked up some of his other stuff, and, well, turns out that "not taking him seriously" is the second-best option, after "never having heard of him."
He actually showed up on a FB thread that we were commenting on. He totally did the troll act and did that "if you have a sexy woman on the cover of a book that you published, why can't the SFWA Bulletin have a sexy woman" argument.
I suppose I am wasting my typing skills by explaining that Sexy Women belong on the covers of Playboy and Maxim and Cats belong on the covers of Cat Fancy and no one wants to see Grumpy Cat on the cover of Playboy - well actually I would love it, but that cat is adorable.
He literally doesn't understand what a magazine aimed at professionals is for. It would be adorably naive if he wasn't a former editor of that magazine.
