And what school of literary criticism were they following that published authors and editors with contracts at Tor (for example) got more points and credence than their critics? K. Tempest Bradford is a published sci/fi author, but somehow she ended up being part of the 'orcing horde' anyway. Will Sh*tt*rly claimed that coffeeandink's ten minutes working at a book publisher made her 'biased,' but it wasn't enough for her to 'count' as an editor or critic. IMO, it's another false comparison; 'oh, we're talking about literature, you silly people.'

The whole thing reminds me of Roger Ebert's takedown of Rob Schneider. (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050811/REVIEWS/50725001)
