Most of the folks who came out of this year's show were really happy with it, and if you let that craptastic minority rule the game, then... we all lose, even the quiet, appreciative majority. I don't want them to win -- I think it's important to address the issues that keep coming up, but if we just stop participating, and don't address them, and don't come to the con, then the fundamentalists win and we're all the poorer for it.
