So, by
now most of those who follow SF with any interest at all in the Hugos and
Worldcon have probably heard the sordid tale of Dave Truesdale's ejection from
Worldcon in reaction to how he opened his panel on the state of short fiction
in SFF.
I'm not going to belabour that point, which is being quite
adequately argued about in other places. What I want to talk about is the panel
itself.
