I finally

worked up the strength to try to read the post by elizabeth moon everyone is talking about, and I feel sick. I'm horrified that this is coming from one of next wiscon's guests of honor. I honestly could puke.

the way she is defending it in the comments is extra groce.

There are a lot of really great comments. And then she responds to them and I am filled with rage. I sincerely hope she gets uninvited from Wiscon.

I don't think wiscon has a policy for what to do when your guest of honor acts like an asshole in this way. I don't think such a policy has ever been needed. We can't look to other local cons, since My other local con is Madcon, and they apparently book assholes on purpose, since their GoH is harlan.

Do they need a policy? Like, is it not common sense to say, "Oh, hey, it turns out that this person doesn't share our values and if we honor her we will make a lot of people feel unsafe"?
