Fred Pohl.
Gordon R Dickson. Now start a poll about who was the biggest jerk. That would be Jerry Pournelle. |
| rmaker | 11 Jun 2015 6:53 p.m. PST |
M. A. R. Barker, though both Gordon Dickson and Poul Anderson would be high up the list. Mike Stackpole is pretty nice, too. |

David Brin. Have always been disappointed that he does not write more novels. |

David Walton is a new writer who has a few books out. I have worked with him for a number of years. I have seen him even on his bad days and he is still one of the nicest people I know (and he has like 7 kids and he is still sane). I will give him a major thumbs up. |

Never met any but I would very much like to meet Glen Cook I met him at WorldCon in New Orleans in 1988. Very nice guy. LT |

Justin Gustainis and I were drinking buddies in college. |

Margaret Weiss. Though, she's a friend, so I would have to say that. The worst was Harlan Ellison. He prides himself on being a vile person, though. |

Terry Prachett Even if he did chat up my wife. |

Wendy and Richard Pini were wonderful to my girlfriend and I at the San Diego Comic-Con back in 1988 or 1989… Phil Foglio was a huge disappointment at the same Con… |

Graham Masterton has been a friend for a couple of years. His stories of Ginsberg and Burroughs, plus his reminisces of being editor of "Penthouse" are worthy of legend. I've urged him and urged him to write a biography, but he refuses to even take a nudge in that direction. |

I talked to Gavin Thorpe at a Danish convention and he was a super nice bloke.
I've talked to Keith Baker and Joe Haldeman online and they're both fantastic people. |
| COL Scott ret | 15 Jun 2015 11:24 p.m. PST |
Joe Halderman met him several decades ago at a world SF con and he was pleasant and fun to talk to. Robert Lynn Asprin not a serious bone in his body as his books might imply. |

Lester Del Rey, Frank Herbert, Frank Kelly Freas, John F. Carr, Joe Haldeman, Poul Anderson. Oddly enough, Harlan Ellison was a sweetheart of a guy when he used to come into my bookstore in Studio City; everywhere else he seemed to be on Mr. Hyde Juice. |
adds punch to his Amazons – with panthers!
