Seriously, they do. They should have done it a long time ago after the infamous wooden asshole event at 2015 Worldcon, where long time editor in chief for Baen books Toni Weisskopf got 1216 votes to win the Hugo award for long form editing, and the fucking assholes at Worldcon conspired to vote "no award" as a block just out of spite. This was the year that Brad Torgerson set up Sad Puppies 1, which I won't go in depth on, but in short was a reader revolt against woke voting slates of Worldcon members who had been dominating the Hugo awards for their favored garbage authors for many years.
Thanks to Sad Puppies I stopped buying newer sci fi and fantasy because it exposed just how crazy it became. Really annoyed me how sales were higher for the sad puppy authors but they were giving awards to terrible authors like Jemison
Saw this story. Baen needs to sponsor conventions
