When you read the complete article, the quote appears in a somewhat different context....
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/daily/sciencefiction.htm << snippet from complete article >> David Brin, best known as the author of the novel "The Postman" � most recently a widely vilified Kevin Costner bomb � is trying harder than most. He wants new blood in the field, and appeared on several panels debating how to get teenagers hooked on classic works like Robert Heinlein's young-adult tales "Citizen of the Galaxy" and "Farmer in the Sky." "Think of what it would take to figuratively stand outside the schoolyard in a trench coat, open it up and say, 'A little Heinlein, girl? The first one's free,' " Brin said, adding: "We are a cult. Why aren't we proselytizing?" Never mind that a basic credo of science fiction is an open-minded, live-and-let-live policy. "We have to go forth and crush every world view that doesn't believe in tolerance and free speech," Brin exclaimed. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Robert Seeberger > Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 8:49 PM > To: Brin-L > Subject: Brin quote? > > > -- > "We have to go forth and crush every world view that doesn't believe in > tolerance and free speech," - David Brin > Captain Button - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Is this a real quote? > > There is a long running thread on rec.arts.sf.written titled > "When did Brin > start to suck".
