I am sorry. I have no vices for you to exploit.

I found myself wondering what had happened to China Mieville not long ago, and found a rather unpleasant answer: scroll down to Sablefool's comment that begins with 'Whilst we do not live in...'

I read through the last 2-3 pages and it hasn't been mentioned, so the claim put forth on that reddit thread is that CM was accused of untoward behavior similar to what has been attributed to Warren Ellis, but has thoroughly scrubbed a lot of it from the Internet. It's suggested that his low profile could be related to that situation.

Pretty disappointing if true. He has a notice on his personal site about being stalked which is probably a response to what I've mentioned, so I have no idea really.

I had no idea the situation was that old! I hadn't checked the dates involved and as that reddit post is from less than a year ago, just assumed it was fairly recent. I would definitely agree it's all too vague to compare to what happened with Warren Ellis. I appreciate being corrected, thanks!
