I see where you're going with this but I still bump up against the only outcome being that Ross was unsuitable and shouldn't have been chosen. Whereas I think there's an alternative position that had all the information been put out there first that we'd be now in the middle of one of our usual fan feuds but Ross would still be doing the Hugos and SFF fandom wouldn't be making the front page of London's main evening news paper for 'hounding' a woman off Twitter.

For the lack of information the blame falls 100% on the shoulders of the chairs. As I've said to you elsewhere, I think, for many reasons he was the right choice if we want to have fandom taken more seriously in the mainstream and raise the profile of the Hugo Awards. But I fully understand that I do not necessarily represent the views of all fandom in wanting to see if that is the case.
