Out Fucking Standing

[rmd]

Kudos to Readercon concomm for a sterling response and being stand-up fen with their latest response to the harassment incident. I have rarely seen a better apology for organizational fuckups.

link to response that hopefully works right. (I'm on my phone at the moment)

Um, wow. This is, like, the thing that never happens. I am in awe.

You got it right. So did they. :)

I hadn't heard about this happening, but that kind of apology is the right thing, even if they didn't do the right thing right away.

Indeed

I posted my own "bravo" before seeing this. Glad to see other people have a positive response to it. I have high hopes that Readercon will be a good thing again.

A good thing indeed.

I would hope that at least some of the people who posted "oh, god, never going to ReaderCon again!" will change their minds.

Nice, I guess. I'd still like to see a feminist con. "Hey, I can go to this con and not get harassed" is pretty much the definition of damning with faint praise, in my book. Still not a reason to go.
