This might seem to be a bit in-group or meta, but this is a report a guy wrote on his Patreon about a science fiction publisher’s forum being used to advocate for political violence.

I’d just like to say that these kinds of discussions could be happening *anywhere* there is a fandom and a forum. It could be sewing, beer brewing, gardening, motocross racing, you name it, it’s possible there’s a group of people on a forum for that group, encouraged by lax or non-existent moderation, and basically plotting to overthrow the government.

I don’t think I’m paranoid.

Baen was a libertarian. I know the type, as I read their books for years and I’ve been in forums with those people. I would have been shocked if Baen’s forums didn’t go in that direction.
