Ole GRRM seems to suffer from a deficit of self-awareness.
Whatever you want to say about the whole stupid kerfuffle, one of the claims of the Sad Puppies was that voting involved a lot of log-rolling and self-dealing and favor-trading.
And then GRRM complains that worthy candidates like Ann Groell and Gardner Dozois don't get Hugos.
George, I assume 90% of these people are your friends, but Groell and Dozois both WORK WITH YOU, fer crissakes.

While we´re at it, from that same entry:
But Laura Mixon won Best Fan Writer (YES!), a big win over both the Puppy nominees, the Moen faction, the Nuclear Option, and the allies and enablers of Requires Hate.
Errh...George..aren´t you an ally and enabler of Linda Antonsson...?
I am not even sure she claimed her Hugo. Most winners who are not present at the con delegate someone to accept on their behalf, but Rowling did not. Millenium Philcon asked a children's librarian to accept for her, but so far as I know, the woman had never met Rowling or had any contact with her, though she was a big Harry Potter fan.
