Yeah, I read Lance's response here and I know using the anti-semite term was strong, but your post seemed to have those undercurrents without really saying it. That's all, I respect everyone's opinion as well, hopefully no harsh feelings. Thanks for replying Neil.

I had my bit to say, the con director explained their reasons, and that's that. What everyone else thinks of me (that I'm whining, kvetching etcetra) it their opinion and they're welcome to it.

Also, I don't really think Kleid is implying any real anti-Semitism on the part of the organizers. I take him at his word when he says that he understands that the convention meant no dissrespect or malice. (He does express doubts that a convention would similarly schedule a convention on top of Christmas or Easter, but although I don't know that I agree with that, I don't necessarily think that rises to the level of charging the show with anti-Semitism.) Klein basically just seems to be calling attention to how unfortunate and regrettable the shceudling is, and insofar as that's what he's doing, there doesn't seem to be much wrong with that.

Is he arguing over moralistic and Judaic(sp) complaints, monetary woes or creator availability. I think his point is muddied by the fact that he takes a legitimate complaint and lessens it by bringing in the idea that the setup for the con is somehow based in anti-Semitism.

Most of them were a success, though not strictly within the parameters of McCloud's Dare (especially the September issue.)
