Not only did I pick up on the "real men don't wear tiaras" thing, I didn't think it was particularly subtle. Nor was I impressed by his failure to realize that a Campbell tiara makes at least as much sense as a Hugo Nominee tie-tack.

Correia didn't get a Hugo nom in 2012--perhaps you're thinking of Torgersen?

Brad's next-to-latest post with him being dragged away to a gulag was... well, weird. Is that really how he sees the world?

I think Correia bailed on his most recent slate nomination because he didn't want to be associated with Vox Day. He's hoping if he doesn't remind us that he taught Vox the power of slates *and* gave Vox his first proof-of-concept demonstration we'll assume he had nothing to do with what Vox is up to.
