Worldcon 2021 Day 1: One and Done
I have been relieved of my position as Chair of the 2021 WSFS Business Meeting by DisCon III Chair Mary Robinette Kowal as of this evening. Deputy Chair Donald Eastlake III takes over with immediate effect.
The Winnipeg in 2023 Worldcon bid committee has also released me from their committee.
My actions yesterday, taken by me without any consultation with the management of either DisCon III or of the Winnipeg in 2023 committee, showed a lack of judgment on my part, and I ask everyone to not hold either organization responsible for my actions, which were my decision and not theirs.
Am I disappointed? Obviously. But people make mistakes, and sometimes they have to pay for the consequences. As long as they're not heating up the tar and plucking chickens, or calling for me to be drawn and quartered, I reckon I'll be okay.
Hey, now I don't have to wear a suit to the Business Meeting. And I reckon Lisa will appreciate having me available to carry her tripod and other equipment.
