Jesus Fucking Christ, Jerry Pournelle Was A Vile Reactionary Piece Of Shit, A Less Talented Heinlein And Without The Creepy 'Charm'

Pournelle wrote a few major SF works with Larry Niven--who is also problematic as hell--but Pournelle was neither a great writer or very intelligent.  He was a narrow-minded and simple-minded disgusting fascist, though, so there's that.  Hell, Niven looks positively clever and sane compared to Pournelle, and nobody on the planet should be singing his praises now that he's dead.  Heinlein shared many loathsome characteristics with Pournelle, but at least Heinlein had the excuse of being an addle-headed sex pervert, so that made him amusing in a sick sort of way at times.
