This was a reaction to [http://theferrett.livejournal.com/1087686.html the blog post] of one of the participants, [http://theferrett.livejournal.com/ theferrett], his depiction of it, and his attitudes toward it, more than to anything that happened in physical reality. OSBP was not a function created by Penguicon, and the organizers did not know about it until after the convention. Penguicon has clear policies in the program book against touching without express permission, and taking "no" to mean "no". |
