I think this guy's sort of a John Dvorak with literary credits, and a very wide mean streak.

I don't see how not to take his comment about women SF writers is a deliberately mean poke at Catherine Asaro.

He's also ignoring people like C. J. Cherryh, who uses solid physics and sciences, not to mention linguistics, without needing to have the kind of textual flag waving Beale apparently wants, and uses in his own work. (Which, by the way, is much harder to find than the work of Asaro, Cherryh, Tepper, or Tiptree).

Oh, and the degree in Chaucer throwaway comment just made him look dumb. You don't get a "degree in Chaucer." You get a degree in English, Linguistics, or Medieval studies, but not Chaucer.

I'm from New Hampshire orginally, more specifically, from a tiny town called Westmoreland. Lots of small farms and such, and lots of traditional Yankee farmers. So the first thing I thought of when I saw the word "almanac" was not the sort published by U.S. News and World Reports, but The Old Farmer's Almanac, which makes its home in Dublin, New Hampshire.

I can just see the F. B. I. trying to figure out why the Briggs and the Lebmanns and the Lewis's have marked up the pages about when to plant peas and corn for the best growth . . .
