signal boost: bigoted asshat behavior by wc-roberts
Note: Edited for clarity following upstart_crow 's entirely reasonable confusion :)
wc_roberts (which is a name used by the team of Willis Couvillier and Andy Miller) is doing a series of interviews of spec. poetry editors.
Rose Lemberg cries foul, for VERY good reasons.
Turns out this same Andy Miller, under the lj-name bearleyport , chose to subject Rose (and not Marge Simon or Trent Walters, we note) to a barrage of Othering, dehumanizing asshattery.
When called out on this, he went on display classic deraily-troll tactics.
This person has a history of trolling, and can also be found under the names Robert Porter and Jose Sludge. Which means, basically, that nothing by wc_roberts can be trusted.

ETA: Want to note that, asshat notwithstanding, Rose's responses in that interview are wonderful. And she has opened up asshat-free comment space in the ST community.
