File 770’s 40th Anniversary was celebrated last month in a very appropriate way – between widely-read news posts.

How the 2018 Worldcon handled Jon Del Arroz’ harassment history, and SFWA dealt with his membership application, attracted many readers and was heavily discussed in comments.

In fact, the third-most-read post earned its ranking from the many hits on rcade’s comment documenting that SFWA President Cat Rambo had made no attacks on Del Arroz despite his claims.

Here are the Top 10 Posts for January 2018:
