I'm so sorry you had to do that. I was only a distant spectator for the Readercon events and I still, reading Crystal Huff's account, had sudden vivid recollections of various low points in that process.

Thank you. Much of her account chimed unpleasantly with events in my personal and professional life. I want Arisia to do better. They have already missed several opportunities to do the right thing, but that doesn't mean I want them to keep on not doing it.

It's unconscionable that Arisia didn't take the opportunity to learn better without having to have its own apocalypse.

I guess it's like other forms of crime: everyone thinks they'll be the ones to beat the system.
