   You wanted an argument, so here it is, but not for the reasons
you think you'll get...
   Ellison writes good stuff (sometimes), so I won't start a battle
over that. BUT, I will no longer read it because the man himself is such 
an ass! After having heard the man once and having read an in-depth interview
he gave, I refused to give my dollars to a man "for entertainment purposes"
(which is why any of us buys a science fiction/fiction/fantasy book) who
insists that MOST ALL OF US ARE LITTLE BETTER THAN LOWER MIDDLE CLASS
MORONS!!! Ellison knocks everyone else's books and movies and the people
who read or watch them. He is self-righteous about writing, feeling him-
self to be free from any guilt or sin while he berates his peers and
calls their readers idiots. I refuse any support for his cause.
   This, of course, is a personal opinion and in no way reflects the
views or opinions of my co-workers or the company I work for.
