		<description><![CDATA[The Helix fiasco first appeared as a small cloud on my horizon and soon welled up into a memorable storm.  The initial affront consisted of a rejection letter containing language derogatory of Middle Eastern people.  (While “worm-brained mentality” may be arguably restricted to terrorists, “sheetheads” is just plain racist.)  Some authors previously [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I will never forget the first time I heard a young cousin of mine—only a little older than 12, the &#8220;golden age&#8221; as they call it in this genre—say, &#8220;Why do you write that stuff?  That&#8217;s white people&#8217;s stuff.&#8221;
Science fiction and fantasy, he meant.  White people&#8217;s stuff.

There are a lot of reasons why [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish this site weren&#8217;t necessary.  I&#8217;d rather that everyone reading it were simply able to enjoy some fine stories and poems without the surrounding controversy.
I&#8217;ve left my work on Helix because I signed a contract to do so.  William Sanders has kept his contract with me, and I will keep mine with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My business dealings with Mr. Sanders have been absolutely fine—he struck me as a trifle crochety, it&#8217;s true, but I&#8217;ve got some tolerance for crochety. Hell, some folks have histories that, when you look at it, I&#8217;d be surprised if they hadn&#8217;t turned out crochety. I had and have no idea if Mr. Sanders has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to think that sf/f writers and editors were angels.  
Well, that isn&#8217;t literally true.  What is true, however, is that I imagined that the sf/f community was welcoming to chromatic people.  Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve learned that this is not necessarily the case.
When I learned of Mr. Sanders&#8217; derogatory remark about Muslims, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know that many people on both sides of this issue wanted me to take an early and decisive stand, but I couldn&#8217;t.  I had friends on both sides, which made it incredibly difficult for me to sort out my own genuine feelings from the feelings of the people that I cared about.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like everyone else published here, I was appalled by Williams Sanders&#8217;
comments. After giving the matter some thought, I decided not to
withdraw my story from Helix, because both parties entered into a fair
contractual arrangement. I have, however, donated the payment I received
to &#8220;Love Music Hate Racism&#8221; (a British anti-racist organisation).
Needless to say, I will have nothing [...]]]></description>
