Marvin was approached by Victoria Foyt, and was asked to review her novel.

All of this would be just another internet firestorm about somebody being an idiot — except that Weird Tales Magazine, one of the most venerable speculative fiction magazines in the world, decided to reprint the first chapter of Saving the Pearls in its next issue. And Weird Tales editor Marvin Kaye, who took over the magazine from the Hugo Award-winning team of Ann VanderMeer and Stephen Segal last year, wrote a blog post defending the book:

I hope you are in a receptive mood. Thanks very much for placing within me the bomb that never stops exploding. Though the benefits have been intangible and in fact I feel that this terrifying mechanism has generally made my life intolerable, I shall never ask you to reverse the situation.

Eh I think she's actually been published at least as many times as you have and is married to one (1) more famous film director than you are, so "nobody" is being a bit thick here as well.

A shame they had to come up with those designs and throw the party in the first place, but pretty cool for them to take responsibility like that and take actionable steps to improve. A lot more than you'd get from most companies.
