another one for the list

Oh, yay, yet another sci-fi/fantasy author for the list of No Longer Buying. At least in this instance I've never heard of Paul Di Filippo, who's cunningly demonstrated a stunning ability for being a right arse as he takes issue with those horrid jealous harpies pointing out that, heh, this latest Mammoth sci-fi anthology has no women or people of colour writing for it. The post is a beautiful smackdown of his asshattery and footnote 29 in particular makes me all warm and gooey on the inside.

Tis a shame cause I've bought Mammoth anthologies in the past, but since the editor, Mike Ashley, has seen fit to chip in with the classic But Wummins Can't Do Maths! line I think I'll do without in future.

Meh. Now I feel seriously tetchy. I should go do those top five thingies for cheeringness, yah.
