frotzReadercon had a problem with an attendee. I consider their reaction to the problem (http://readercon.livejournal.com/21805.html et seq) to be a related but new problem of their own making, and I'm somewhat cranky about it all.
On the other hand, some of the commentary there about the nature and behaviour patterns of harassers and abusers is more useful and insightful than vituperative, and if the Readercon BoD reads it and does some thinking it's possible something could be salvaged out of this.
Which is why I haven't actually posted this there:
