PUBLISHING HOUSE BAEN BOOKS ATTACKED BY CANCEL CULTURE

Larry Correia:
As a (hopefully) budding author, not long ago I went looking for web forums that dealt with writing and writers. I found and signed up for two of them. One runs (or ran) on vBulletin, the same forum software that The Firing Line and several other forums use. But this writing forum seemed to run awfully slowly compared to any other forum I have ever seen. After some poking around, I learned that they run some sort of filter between the forum host and the members as protection because, in the past, they had been subjected to denial or service attacks.
I thought that was odd. Why would anyone feel a desire or need to attack a forum used by fledgling and non-famous writers? I quickly discovered that the discussion areas that received the most traffic were the current events areas, and posts there had nothing to do with writing or publishing. They were all Orange man Bad posts. In one, someone posted about the increase in the national debt under Trump. I innocently pointed out that, as a percentage, the national debt had increased more during six of Obama's years in office than in any year of Trump's term. I was instantly attacked.
I don't do that forum any more. The other forum I signed up for is about writing and publishing. I'm sure if I had remained on that first forum I would have been cancelled in short order, just for speaking the truth.
