Well, it could be because his writing isn't enjoyable. Or it could be because his theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, his methods are sloppy, and his conclusions are highly questionable. Or maybe it has to do with his misogynistic streak, though admittedly that has been eclipsed on my personal contempt scale by that of Dave Sim (which isn't so much a streak as a load-bearing member). Or it could be because he destroyed the WPI Science Fiction Society's con, Technicon, back in the 80s, and nearly destroyed the SFS itself in the process.

Or you could boil all that down and encapsulate it in the more concise phrase, "he sucks."
