Wiscon has rescinded Elizabeth Moon's guest of honor invitation (link at http://sf3.org/2010/10/elizabeth-moon/). About damn time.

I warn anyone following the link that the comments are full of people crying "Censorship!", asking whether Moon will be sent to a reeducation camp, and vowing never to purchase Wiscon tickets ever again. Since they're also using phrases like "fascist liberal" and "politically correct jackbooted thugs," I sincerely doubt that any of them have ever come to Wiscon in the past. Please don't think they're actual members of our community. We may be whiffly sometimes, but we're not usually complete morons.

Oh my. I think I caught the edges of that a couple of years ago, but not the uninvite. A little Googling suddenly makes Moon's complete refusal to engage look slightly more classy.
