Honest, Sawz, your disjointed, non-sequitur, dedicatedly ad hominem posts are getting wearisome.

1. The "dark armies" phrase, as you can plainly see, was part of a quote from a columnist for the SF Chronicle/SFGate, not my choice of phrasing; but I don't find it inaccurate. In case you missed third grade that day, the word "dark" has several meanings related neither to Sci Fi not to race, such as "connotating evil or immoral spiritual qualities".

This is like trying to blame the Son of Sam attacks on Jack the Ripper, or trying to say that the Great Depression was really the fault of the Founding Fathers or Andrew Jackson. The argument doesn't really hold much water.
