Going to Loncon3?
You might want to read Why I have resigned from the Committee of Loncon3.
Make sure to read the actual letter of resignation at the end. To anyone who understands written English and knows Jonathan Ross's track record, it's clear that, in choosing him to host the Hugo Awards, the Chairs willfully ignored their own charter.
ETA: Ross withdrew, rather graciously, today. Also, I want to make it clear that I have seen Ross's show more than a few times over the last several years -- it's popular with some of my family. So I didn't need the Mirror piece to know that his performing as host could be triggery for a lot of people. But I am sad that so many people focused on what was wrong with Jonathan Ross rather than on the importance of providing a safe space and what that entails.
