IMHO, nothing short of criminal charges would be a valid reason. I don't know about *valid* reasons, but "never bathing from one year to the next" and "walking through the halls talking crazy to yourself in an excessively loud voice" sound like *understandable* (even if invalid) reasons. And whether "hate speech" and "uninvited touching" can be criminal charges depends on whether one can bring enough evidence to bring a criminal case against them. In the end, it's up to the ConComm to establish boundaries and publish them, and then to judge any complaints on a case-by-case basis. DunDraCon isn't your orindary SF con; for one thing, it's a gaming con, and for another, the same committee (modulo committee members quitting or dying and other members coming on*) has been running it for the past forty-odd years. We put a harrassment policy up on the webpage a couple years ago, and reprint it in the program book, because it seemed necessary. Our registration system is heavily computerized (all home-grown), and one of the things it has is an option for rejecting a membership if the name is flagged as someone we don't ever want to have on our premises ever again. The set of such people has one member at present, a guy whose known modus operandi was groping underage girls. If he comes in and tries to register, the terminal freezes and a message comes up telling the volunteer to call Hal, or me, or our daughter Meg, or one of our senior Reg people who knows what it's about. Hal comments, "We've never actually used it, because he never tried to register again, and I believe he got into legal trouble in L.A. and is now a guest of the State." But if anybody else acts sufficiently like a jerk, into the database he'll go. ______ Of the original DunDraCon Committee, one member remains: Steve Perrin, co-creator of _Runequest_ and current Seminars organizer. -- Dorothy J.
