Trust the Voters

In my opinion, attempts to wall off "science fiction" from "fantasy" are doomed in any popularly-voted award, unless you really want highly activist awards administrators making value judgements. (And WSFS has shown time and again that activist administrators making anything but technical rulings (word length and suchlike) are going to get stomped on.) What's wrong with simply trusting the voters' judgement? Sure, sometimes the voters don't select the things I like (in fact, that's usually the case), but I don't then campaign to change the rules so that things I don't personally like aren't even eligible. Did you nominate and vote this year, Brad?
