The crazypants of the Heinlein fan are not to be underestimated. In addition to Juliansinger's link above, there's this gem by the same blogger:
I’ve been on a dozen or two Heinlein panels at cons, and it always devolves to name calling. I will admit I am far from an unbiased observer, but hearing someone call Heinlein a racist or a sexist offends me.
One wonders, indeed, how such a panel could possibly devolve into name-calling! And who starts it every time.
Seriously, if I did not already think of Heinlein as basically a fanfic writer (writing fantasies of the Navy career he wished he'd had), the "You criticizers are all JELLUS H8ERS!!!!" BNF bandwagonning would be definitive proof of his belonging well within the fannish fold.
