From what I’ve seen over the last couple of days, they just make up their own history. Ditto with a video room or an art show or a charity auction. I’m furious with the Origins board.

Such a lovely face Good luck…. Have a Bishop’s recommend to attend BYU part time? > and then we were going to go to the zoo on That’s absurd. fans are justifiably angry, and fannish memories are long. According to one of my fans who looked, her boyfriend is this guy who wrote an article about how GenCon was racist. He’d be doomed with his acerbic, confrontational personality. It would be like if Gerard Butler lobbied the Oscars hard every year, exclaiming that, as a guy who’s really just trying to make movies for real movie fans, he should get some consideration, but because his movies don’t focus on social-political issues and pass the Bechdel test, he’ll always be overlooked. One thing that is kind of funny is that a bunch of my fans were pointing out that by removing me, they’d made the GoH list less diverse. Addendum: What happened to you was a standard tactic – social justice zealots who weren’t going to even be at the con would swarm, mass-email cons, businesses, etc, and threaten to boycott, or worse, until their demands were met. I’m glad you aren’t getting too bogged down by it. (they have manatees there!). Usually, about 7-10 days before the convention starts, GAMA/Origins will post what they call a “site book” to their website. . I promise not all of Columbus is that stupid. From the Internet Arguing Checklist, that was a #2 Disqualify: You Sound Angry, plus some #7 Concern Trolling. Your imagination will come to life at Origins Game Fair! It is also from four years ago. Yes, Mother Jones is EEK liberal bias BUT I chose it over other articles reporting on the same topic because of all the links to the studies. There was never any proof that they were going to ever do business with those institutions. Radio Pix El [39] In that case, to appease a handful of no names and maybe a dozen perpetually offended jerks, they pissed off thousands. I’m really sorry for any fans who were planning on seeing me at Origins. This makes me want to show up at Origins Game Fair with a combat wombat. ), Mirrors on the ceiling, depict Godstalks on ice Yeah, it really needed to be hammered home though. Not Saladin.”. Don’t think it’s the same guy though: Origins Game Fair isn’t even in Florida. I read it years ago and it’s stuck with me. Stunned silence fell. They just toss an allegation like a bomb and then run off. What would it mean to be half Jewish in practice? Shortly after publicizing that Correia had been added to the lineup, John Ward, the event’s Executive Director, received so many negative social media comments (on Twitter, particularly) that he announced Correia’s invitation has been rescinded. The entire thing comes across as contrived. They’ve narrowed their intake of experiences and people to such a myopic level that they can’t cope with people that disagree. Wow, somehow, kids worldwide playing local versions of their cops and robbers / cowboys and injuns / heroes slay the dragon/demon/evil faerie become cultural appropriators without knowing it! The culture war, verging erratically as it has into actual murder and raw thuggery against conservatives, libertarians, objectivists, and other decent folk in the United States and other supposedly advanced countries, will be ugly indeed before it’s over. I thought those topics would be of interest since the lecture series is about the instruments of national power, history, warfare, economics and politics. Once the schedule was posted Origins got comments in its social media, and then took me off of the entire schedule for all lectures, forever. Mother Jones provides in depth journalism that mostly favors the political left. I don’t like identity politics. [9][10][11][12], In 2000, Ed Kramer ceased to have an active role in managing the convention, but still owned 34% of the company. Thank you! Tuesday, May 22, 2018 10am, What a ridiculous situation. All we hear is radio SIf wa Returning this year is the costume contest, the Smithees, the Origins Awards,  the Origins Film Festival and so much more!

There is certainly no shortage of crazy in this world. We LOVED having you at HonorCon. You’re a solid author and I enjoy your books. ^_^. Undeserved.

Immediately a bunch of people started freaking out about how my presence made them “unsafe”. I mean, I’M a Deep One, but that doesn’t mean I worship Cthulhu! We’ll just have to create a new con designed to thoroughly explode their heads.

Year after year they encounter numerous problems with their event registration system, fail to make reasonable improvements or plan for their server demands, and yet have no explanation other than “let’s do it again the same way next year” because “reasons”. It sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but it’s a lot of things that ordinary people can do and have done. They actually think they have a “right” to be protected from people they disagree with? To your last question, that’s the closest I saw to anyone trying to support their accusations against you before I couldn’t stomach the File 770 commentariat any longer. SOMEONE had to reason out why he should be the GoH. Origins Game Fair, which ran June 13-17 this year, is a tabletop gaming convention sponsored by the Game Manufacturer’s Association .

My issue is entirely with the behavior of John Ward. . Put it out on all your social media. Two of the hours were a one hour on a lecture titled, “The Culture Wars” and another hour on “GamerGate”. On the flip side, while some of us have chosen to do the same thing (e.g. This thread is going to be a fun barometer to see where the growth in the sub has come from. Enjoy!

I reject the idea that you must be American, or far-right, or homophobic, or sexist, to count yourself as conservative. “Show me the evidence” should be sufficient, but these power-tripping bullies have created an environment where the good people have to react to the most absurd and ridiculous allegations. There was a collective gasp, and several students said, CATHOLICS????????? I hope you have a lot of disposable income. “That’s a nice little writing career / small gaming business / illustration career you’ve got going there. It’s like becoming an SF fan, by subscribing to Hugo Gernsback’s new magazine, Amazing, in time for the first issue (which I have read, thank you). They’re gone. Well, now, even Superman had the Arctic Fortress of Solitude. The worst part is that the first woman who complained refused to offer any proof of her accusations- AND PEOPLE WENT WITH IT. So, so many people are. I’ve been talking about doing a post-Mardi-Gras thing in Galveston, mostly as an excuse to hold a room party at the conventions I go to, but when the feeling comes over me, I just lie down until the feeling passes. “The Culture Wars” and “GamerGate” I thought the topics would be of interest since it has been discussed that “Culture drives politics” which then effects the use and deployment of the instruments of national power, and those seemed to be recent topics on culture that was and is driving politics.

Please be sure to let them know how much we appreciate them! Eat a dick, concern troll.
