I like Ellison’s writing quite a lot. I’ve never met Harlan Ellison in person, but the stories about him (even the ones he tells about himself) do not always show him in a good light.

I’ve always been interested in meeting him, but if I do, I suppose I should prepare to be insulted.

Ha! That’s wonderful stuff. I’d heard the story about Ellison and the woman at the party before, but it never ever fails to amuse. Ellison was some sort of “adviser” on Babylon 5, I believe. I never quite got the connection, but jms seems to be a fan of his.

I pleased me to read about this. I’ve always thought Ellison was an asshole, and to have it thrown in his face, in front of people made me happy. I mean, it kinda sounds like he started it, and Gabe finished it with that Star Wars crack. Brilliant!

Gabe and Tycho may be assholes, but they at least have a sense of humor.
