I've gone down the interview process on a couple of these just to see where it went. I was fortunate enough to not need a job at the time, so I wasn't worried about it. There was one test with 18 statements and I was asked to sor

I would agree that a group swept the nominations. (and I don't agree with them) Having attended a couple conventions, including a worldcon just before this happened, I would say that the same low voter turnout that made sad puppies pos
