Would agree, I& #39;m no Harlan Ellison. I& #39;m ever so slightly taller, for one. Somewhat less litigious. But we got on reasonably well. He& #39;d call me late at night to complain about SFWA things when I was president, and one time I got to tell him he& #39;d been nominated for a Nebula.
I think it& #39;s interesting that this person is trying to slight me by saying I& #39;m no Ellison. But I& #39;m content to let Ellison be Ellison, and me be me. You can& #39;t insult me by suggesting I& #39;m not him. That wasn& #39;t the plan. The plan was: Do what I want to do, how I want. It& #39;s working!
