The code of conduct's last four or five sentences are horrifying. It's literally why I have no plans on ever attending again. (That, and, of course, the prior sentence basically bans a Marxist analysis on panels.)

Sorry we'll miss you. (This and Boskone are probably the only cons we'll ever go to, because they're close and I'm lazy.)

Which sentence are you referring to...?

You picked up some good books there! Again, very nice seeing you!

As for the code of conduct, I suspect there is actually quite a bit of disparaging of gender, sexual orientation, and economic class going on, just not in the way they're thinking.
