So. Uh. There's things I'd like to say. You know, about HE. The problem is, he's such a litiginous soul, bless his little black heart. I mean, big warm throb organ. Lady Cranefly and I actually played host to his lawyer a couple times, longer than we wished, more often, too, and--
Yes, there's things I'd like to say. The problem is, web searches. You know. That's what HE is all about. Tracking down copyright infringement. Not that I'm doing that. But if I speak ill of HE, who knows what might come of it?
Because his lawyer is good. I know how good he is. A google-searching maniac who can reach deep into the domain of DOOM and grab me by the balls and litiginate the sperm out of me.
He has trademarked his name, by the way. When he is mentioned in Locus (the newspaper of the science fiction field), his name is always followed by the trademark symbol.
It pays to be careful around HE.
I liked his earlier work -- even the dog story. But when his movie reviews in F&SF magazine turned into cheap personal vendettas, I swore never to read him again.
I met him once, by the way. A friend introduced me to him. As we shook hands, he said, "Do I know you? You seem awfully familiar." To which I responded, "No, I'm a complete nobody."
