Go ahead and laugh at the Hugos. Laugh, complain, groan, and rant. Call all the nominators "doodyheads" and "ignoramuses" who live up to your low expectations. And keep posting about them and making more people aware of them. That's exactly the way to make them irrelevant. And then come back next year to rant at the people who buy memberships saying exactly what they should nominate.
Me, I'm going to throw some popcorn and enjoy the show. Even when what I want to win doesn't take the prize it and amusing thing to watch. Because that's my role. To watch, and mock, and laugh.. at everything including myself. But especially the kvetching people who just hate, hate, hate the people of the SF ghetto. Yes, I'm laughing at you.
