Dear PantheaCon Shithead Childherders

[ravan]

Friday night, about 30 of us were all crowded into the Asatru Hospitality Suite. No windows were open, of course - it was a bit chilly outside. You people sat in there, oblivious, while your child ran around and coughed... and coughed... and was cranky... and coughed more. By the time I realized that it was just one child doing the coughing, not

Well, when you go after her parents, here is why it isn't going to go far:

My daughter and I were with Sonja from about 1pm-8pm Friday. My daughter was with her roughly 10am to 3:30pm when we went up to the Pagan Alliance suite. My husband was with Sonja much of that time. (You saw us at the PA suite around 4:30pm.)

My daughter, my husband, and I had HOURS more contact with Sonja than you. No coughs, no fevers, no ick (I have bad allergies, but it doesn't look a thing like Sonja's ick).

I will check will the other mom of a kid who spent time with Sonja, but so far no complaints in her LJ of her kid having a cough.

It wasn't in the Pagan Alliance suite, IIRC, it was the Asatru suite.

There were lots of parents with kids at P-Con this year. Most of them took good care of their kids.

Also, some people don't have the constant exposure to stuff to boost their immune systems though sheer inundation.

You are missing the logic: Sonja had a wee cough on Friday, and her father explained it to me as the tail of something. Her father is the host of the Asatru suite, and we were in there for the drawing at like 5:45pm Saturday night(getting ready for the drawing) until 6:40pm when we went to help our fellow Greeks out down the hall. Sonja (the blond girl) was helping her mom draw tickets for the raffle and was the only kid in the room when my daughter left her.

so to add to the logic, we were with the Asatru kid in question near to your comparatively low exposure period, and as thick as theives as my daughter is with their kid...... hmm I am doubtful.

The kid doing the drawing wasn't the one doing the coughing. She wasn't coughing much at all (and was cute as hell). There was another kid closer to the door.

Oh, and your logic fails anyway. Just because parents, exposed to every bug that their kid brings home from school and play, are immune doesn't mean everyone else is.
