Hey, thanks for sharing your links and thoughts. I feel like pointing out that the phrase "been primarily used as" does imply a secondary process going on that is somehow different. Aside from that, Scalzi has specifically commented that he doesn't want me to feel like I have to defend him, so I won't. He told me late (Late!) last night that he had read most of RaceFail, and I think he's still reading, just like I am. but I can't blame him (or anyone) for waiting for the stabbity stabbity glint in some people's eyes to die down before trying to tread those waters.

(I love those late night IM conversations where both parties are sitting there asking "why are we up so late discussing this NOW?" I had an even later conversation with Mary Robinette Kowal that was like that. I'm looking forward to conversating with her sometime when I'm awake. :) )
