Oh for fuck's sake.

I'd always meant to get around to finally making it to a Readercon. But fuck that noise unless the board seriously unfucks this situation

ETA: I've never been higher in a con hierarchy than regular staff, but I'm wondering if it might be useful or at least amusing to try and organize a feminist-friend con scheduled against Readercon next year.

Thank you for both clarifications.
If banning the offender is about preserving the (safety of) the convention, it really does call for stepping away from the criminal justice analogy and looking at it more from a community-of-purpose perspective.
Thanks again.

You're welcome. And I recognize that my phrasing about "preserving the convention" is awkward, but I haven't quite figured out how to express what I mean. It's not just about safety (a word/concept I have my own difficulties with). It's more about the con as an abstract that includes individual members, their interactions, and the environment. Community-of-purpose is good.
