It is said that one should never meet our heroes or inspirations, that doing so will be inevitably disappointing when we are confronted with their basic mortal frailties. He was never one of my heroes, but he was one of a number of writers whose novels gave me stars and worlds. Ender's Game is special to me for singular, personal reasons that have less to do with the book and more about one of my oldest friendships. All that aside, any time I read Orson Scott Card's blog it makes me sad. His virulent, desperate hatred is so disheartening.

It is depressing. I always had an idealized image of science fiction writers as enlightened, futuristic people when I was a kid. Le sigh.
