Kameron Hurley on the conspiracy of silence about NSB that let to the current situation

[james_davis_nicoll]

Everything authors knew about the rotten abuse at Night Shade was shared in private. With a few exceptions (Moon and Williams, most notably) no one was talking out loud about what was happening. The SFWA was accomodating and gracious and gave them chance after chance. We should have spoken up. All of us.

But we didn’t. Because these guys were “nice guys” we knew, not “big megacorp unknown entity.”

Oh, I think there are plenty of corners on this globe where passive agressive whining is a tool of choice that have nothing to do with "white-boy rock"...
