I think someone else mentioned Delany as a misogynist; I was just throwing that comment out, and after I wrote it I wondered if it might sound slightly prejudice. It's just something I've heard a lot, not something I believe. I've only read Delany a little, and never a complete novel (I liked what I read, just never finished anything), so when I said I don't know about him, I really don't. I did know he is a homosexual, only because I read a little biography of him in one book (Stars in my Pocket like Grains of Sand, I believe, but could be wrong). Personally, I'm sure he thinks women are great.<br><br><br><b><i>Hmpf MacSlow <hmpf1998@gmx.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> At 04:09 AM 10/21/2006, you wrote:<br>>I can agree with Wolfe being loved by both atheists and devout <br>>Christians, having been both and loved Wolfe as both.<br>><br>>That is something I
