I never had the chance to meet Joe Murphy in person, but I spent many hours listening to his contributions to Slice of SciFi, Dragon Page, Wingin’ It and the Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas.  Joe was opinionated, but thoughtful and I took away many insights into genre fiction from him.  You can learn much from those you respectfully disagree with.
