Sasquan Security, Con't

Wow, so I've got a lot to get through here.

First, I heard back from the convention committee, but their response is less than encouraging.

Dear Sir, 

We cannot offer precise details about our security plans for reasons that should be obvious, but suffice it to say that we are working with local law enforcement to ensure a safe environment for all attendees. If we become aware of any terrorist threats, we will notify the appropriate federal authorities.

As to your second message, it is not WorldCon policy to require loyalty oaths of any attendees. As an international convention, it would be inappropriate to force foreign guests to swear fealty to anything but their own government. 

We hope this has satisfied you.

So it's the brushoff. A typical liberal response. Once Sad Puppies seize control of the WorldCon organizational committees, you can be sure we won't leave security up to the government. No, we'll have Blackwater operatives, fully armed, standing guard at every door and patrolling the convention floor. There'll be no chance of ISIS attacking us.

As to the committee's refusal of the loyalty oath idea, reader Keith M. points out that it doesn't matter anyway.

Loyalty oaths mean nothing to Muslims. The Qu'ran says that oaths sworn to infidels have no power to bind. 

Personally, I'm going to boycott Sasquan unless the ConCom agree to ban Wilson. The convention's not worth my life. 

A reader who identifies himself only as "Grundle" expresses a similar sentiment.

hello, 

i am skared that if i attend the convention, g willow wilson will use her feminan wilds on me to get me alone and then kill me whien i least expect it. what shoud i do? 

 This is a toughie. We could boycott Sasquan as Keith M. suggests, but I suspect the committee would love that. It'd be a tidy solution to their problems. They certainly aren't going to ban a nominee like G. Willow Wilson, so the only alternative is to attend and maintain our vigilance. Of course I understand that many Puppies out there may not be so willing to put their lives on the line, so if you want to boycott, don't be afraid to do so. Just make sure you let the convention know why you're doing it, otherwise it won't have any impact.
