I am a virtual stranger and only happened upon this post due to Rydra Wong's links. However, I wanted to say that John Scalzi has now apologized for his wrong characterization, and while this is your post and your words, you may want to take a look at his latest entry: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2009/03/11/walking-myself-back/
He apologizes, and compared to the rest of the white pro SF/F authors out there, proves himself to be a better person. So, maybe you'd like to link to that post as well, because right now any of your flist might conclude that he is a big flaming jerk (which he of course was, but he understands it now, at least).
You are perfectly free to ignore me, I won't get offended, but I think that his post merited linking.

Great post and summary, otherwise. :)
