To quote Michael Swanwick


He was racist, anti-Semetic, and a shill for every pseudoscientific fraud that came down the pike, but he was one of our own. And today's his birthday! Ladies and gentlemen, let's all raise a glass to... JOHN W. CAMPBELL!

He ain't one of mine.

Last I checked that's not a choice.

(If it has become a choice recently, AWESOME.)
