The funniest thing about the whole Beale/SFWA thing to me is that Beale transparently wants SFWA to kick him out, because it would feed his heroic-victim delusions. So he did something that in any other trade organization would be immediately, obviously worthy of expulsion. But my heavens, judging someone on the basis of their actions might be hasty, hroom hroom.

Beale's clearly having a grand old time with all this. The convenient thing about having a persecution complex is that every situation's win-win: if you win, you've just won; if you lose, you get to complain about it.
