 Beatrice.com: Apparently, There Can Only Be One
Nielsen Hayden's blog (which in all fairness is really quite good, and frequently contains information of practical use and entertainment value to the aspiring writer) is called "Making Light," and she's presumably even more possessive about it than the other phrase, since she's actually written something under that rubric much more recently than 1996.
However, what I can't find is a link to any comment from Theresa Nielsen Hayden explaining her discomfort, so I'm assuming she and Newton hashed this out in private communication--so I don't want to be critical of Nielsen Hayden without having seen her viewpoint.
It's actually in Nielsen Hayden's sidebar featurette, and was recently squeezed off her main blog page--and Maud quoted her in her entirety.

 Scrivener's Error
Teresa Nielsen Hayden, a senior editor at Tor books, described some really abominable behavior last night that demonstrates ignorance about the publishing industry and publishing process.
Nielsen Hayden takes a lot more time for nonsense than do most editors (how many other editors at commercial publishers have their own websites that do anything other than discuss their cats?).
Nielsen Hayden's correspondent would have been much better advised to work on his (I assume his) own material—whether that's writing fiction or whatever—than worry about one editor's opinion of an author whom she does not publish.

Teresa, whose superpower is to have whatever you or she needs in her backpack, used a marker to fill the back of one of my signs with her preferred slogan ("Not THIS War").
This is because we were with Teresa Nielsen Hayden, a woman whose immediate reaction to the calamitous news on the morning of September 11, 2001, was to head for the roof of her Manhattan office building.
Teresa with her very specific Not THIS War, and Patrick and Teresa who have been leading us through renditions of "America the Beautiful," "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and even, hard as it is to sing, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Well, about two thirds of this last, since I skipped several lines by accident.

Teresa Nielsen Hayden makes an amusing put-down of creationists.
Thing is, I don’t know enough about Creationism as a community to judge where the gargoyles fit in, so I’ve been trying to just aim my potshots at their ideas.
I wouldn’t call most of the leaders of creationism gargoyles; I think they’re mostly self-righteous clowns who babble ignorantly, and would be figures of fun and pity if they weren’t so dead-set on gutting education and making sure that everyone else was as uninformed as they are.

 L.A.con III Convention Report
Nielsen Hayden said that he thought that what was wrong (and perhaps what made this panel necessary?) is that we have gone from a subculture which was passing on the secret information about which of this stuff is good to a subculture that actually believes the packages.
Nielsen Hayden also said "hard science fiction is a very recent invention" (of the last couple of years) which makes spurious claims to be descended from Campbellian science fiction.
Nielsen Hayden said that, as an example, The Marching Morons by Frederik Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth dates badly and has an elitist Fifties attitude that the world doesn't have enough intellectuals and too many stupid people, when the real problem is that people who think they are smart do stupid things.

 Home-Based Entrepreneur
Teresa Nielsen Hayden, an editor at Tor who's been in publishing for enough time to have developed some very advanced theories on the inner workings of the industry, has published a detailed account of the action on RejectionCollection.com, a site where writers post and complain about the rejection slips they've garnered from publishers.
Teresa invites us into the world of the "slushreader" -- the editor who goes through the unsolicited manuscripts, deciding which will to have a chance at publication and which will go back to their creators, and then analyses the mental model of this process implicit in the RejectionCollection.com commentary.
I suppose the notion of a website to whine about rejection letters is inevitable in a culture that has managed to separate the notion of self-esteem from the notion of actual performance.

 Electrolite: Central front in the war on terror.
And they weren´t sarcastic: They argued that with continued US unilateralism, the Europeans would be forced by the circumstances to get up and make their common policy and their common defense projects work, finally, instead of relying on the US/Nato for such things.
One of the most discouraging things that's happened to me in the last three and a half years was hearing Jim Henley, a man whose language and insight I admire more than I can say, announce that he couldn't care less about the dispute over the 2000 election.

As a preface, know that Tor editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden savaged Pierce's "advice" here, particularly his advice to new writers to lie about their professional credits on cover letters (he's since amended it, but you can see an unredacted version here), and then in a separate entry wondered if Mr.
TNH's crowd of enthusiastic admirers ran with the ball, making fun of Mr.
Pierce showed up, read the accumulated posts, was appalled that everyone was so mean to him and then promptly threatened TNH with a libel suit.

 The Rittenhouse Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
I’m grateful, then, as we all should be, to Teresa Nielsen Hayden of Making Light, who, as several other bloggers already have observed, has written what can only be described as the most authoritative and convincing summation of the controversy I have seen anywhere.
Though pleased the most dire of reports of damage at the museum were overstated, Nielsen Hayden persuasively argues that what occurred in Baghdad was nonetheless a cultural tragedy and that the philistines who would have us return blissfully to our Barcaloungers are not only misguided, but ignorant.
Properly, but to a lesser extent than I would have done, Nielsen Hayden alludes to the ethnocentrism of those who would downplay the seriousness of the damage.

Teresa Nielsen Hayden on the fabric of the city
Teresa Nielsen Hayden has posted a long but fun essay about the "passionate fannish interests" that a city like New York sparks.

Teresa is, of course, the author of the Hugo-nominated essay collection Making Book (1994).
The Nielsen Haydens have been active fans since the mid-1970s, and did many of the standard fan things: published fanzines, joined too many apas, worked on a Worldcon committee, ran for (and won) TAFF, burned out somewhat, and went pro.
