Tor also put out some exceptional horror especially back in the 80s/90s. Sad to see what liberals did to their Sci/Fi and Horror.

From Vox Popoli's web site [Joshi also comments with a nice notice.]

Despite his leftward leanings, David Hartwell struck me as being one of the last remaining sane individuals in the editorial offices [At Tor Books], and he was perhaps the only one capable of reigning in the lunatic impulses of Patrick Nielsen Hayden and the Torstapo. By his own account, he even managed to talk the notorious award-whore into standing down and letting long-time bridesmaid Lou Anders of Pyr finally win PNH's Best Tor Editor Award (also known as Best Editor (Long Form) Hugo) in 2011.

I expect he will be missed by many, and that things in the science fiction world are going to get even more, shall we say, interesting, in his absence.

Unfortunately, ψφ has become an SJW cesspool, Hartwell did help to create some of that atmosphere, his demurrals to the contrary not withstanding. To the extent that he tried to do well, and that he was by all accounts a fine editor and critic, we should be magnanimous. RIP.
