because I feel like starting a riot in the comments

Note: I have never read Harlan Ellison nor Connie Willis (and you can't make me feel guilty about it, so don't bother) and therefore I have no dog in this fight. But I just couldn't resist.

I have read Harlan, but not Connie. But it really doesn't matter. Both have weighed in on the subject. From what I understand, they haven't talked to each other yet, but Harlan's taken the position that he knows it was stupid to do and that he's waiting to hear back from Connie to see how he can make amends. As far as I'm concerned we can all be as outraged as we like and demand a pound of flesh, but it comes down to how Connie responds to Harlan's attempt to resolve the issue with someone he considers a good friend.

And if Connie wants to press charges or rake him over the coals, Harlan's willing to accept it because he was the offending party. I hope they can work it out and preserve their friendship.
