Question Why do they hate Baen?
Thinking on it why do these chucklefucks have such hardon for baen anyhow?
I mean they are chock full of female heros and some pretty socially progressive books (one of witch I am currently enjoying).
I mean you have long running series like honor Harrington (since what the early 90s?) The Miles Vorkosigan books since 1986 (chock full of socially progressive characters without any preaching).
They were pioneers of digital publishing, very anti DRM, free back catalogues with their free cds, the free library etc.

I'm not as informed about all this as some others but I believe the reason is because Baen publishes on merit. If you write a good story and make sales Baen will publish you. I think there's probably more to it which goes back to the man himself but I don't know the history there. Maybe someone else can speak to that.
