(Note: I called for his expulsion as well. This looks like nothing more than sociopathic pique, spite, and bile.Īs Jim pointed out, this all happened almost exactly two years after his Flaming Phallusness was the second person ever to be ejected from SFWA. Vox’s actions are a deliberate, orchestrated, premeditated attack on a person and group that he has a beef with. He’s not really upset about what was said. It clearly shows that this isn’t real outrage. I think Beale got a case of the supervillain soliloquy when he made that comment on File770 – because it tips his hand.

Strike back at TNH, PNH, or even John Scalzi right away either. Long been in the habit of never using all of my ammunition at once, or I’ve held onto this since I had the screencap, which as you correctly Vox (or Theodore Beale) revealed that he had held on to the screencap in question for weeks for maximum effect. Here’s the key part I want to address of our resident “Doesn’t Realize That Profile Pic of a Flaming Phallus Substitute Reminds Us of Syphilis”‘s recent actions, and why I’m (dismissively) calling him a B-movie supervillain. TL DR: Vox Day, or Theodore Beale, made a screencap of a comment on a private FB page and then tried to get folks riled up at the commenter’s employer.

You should read that first, if you haven’t already. So Jim Hines did a great job (as usual) of recapping the current “Tor Mess”.

I’m posting this comment on my own blog, since B-movie villain Vox Day seems to be all keen on trying to attribute words to other people and organizations.
