You are entitled to your opinion. There is some truth to what you say. But while there are more serious assaults that have happened, the title to the thread is unchanged. Bullying is not right. Sending threatening emails, threatening exclusion and quite possibly more (Missed the comment "The only way they'll ever "get it" is if people bitchslap them around. " did you??)
The Internet can be an ugly place. Real life can be a rotten experience all around. Dragoncon is a nice relaxing and fun time for me. Nipping ugliness like this, in the bud, makes a better experience all around. Can we stop every small-minded idiot? Surely not. Can we even change the bullies minds about how WRONG this is? I doubt it.
I made as many people as I could, aware of the situation. I tried to reason with the perpetrators. I am objecting to a bad situation and trying to make it better. That is not making a Mountain... It's climbing it!
