Did I fail to mention, I am 100% guilty as charged, and NO ONE should attempt to cobble up mitigating excuses for my behavior? As with everything else I REALLY DO (as opposed to the bullshit that is gossiped third-hand by dolts), I am responsible for my actions 100% and am prepared to shoulder all consequences, instead of shunting them off to Vice-President ScaryGuy.
Harlan Ellison has just posted an apology over That Incident on his message-board – see here (scroll down; no permalinks), or the main bit cut & pasted on PNH’s LiveJournal.
EDIT: Ed Champion remains Not Happy.
