I was invited to this event by Ms Martel. I wonder if I'll go.

Go! Go on my behalf! I came THAT close to meeting HE earlier this year, but his health kept him away from the events I was attending. HE appearances are few and far between, so every opportunity should be taken!
Awww, I am sorry for you both and hope Mr. Ellison is better. I haven't always cared for his attitude, but some of his work is great.

I don't care for his opinion on 4E (a sweeter man you won't find). Harlan is just relentless in his dislike of Ackerman, but I guess he has that right.

Has what right? What's not to like about Ackerman?

The only specific upsetting incident that I know of (if I recall correctly) was Ackerman's (alleged) untimely zeal in wanting to make a death mask of Robert Bloch. Pretty grim, if you ask me, and not particularly endearing.
Also some dissatisfaction (shared by many in the field) with Ackerman's invention and promulagation of the term "sci-fi".

Well, you gotta catch 'em fresh. Anyone get one of him?
