I'd love to go to a con, but I don't want to be associated with this kind of crazy in even the smallest, guilt-by-association way.

I know. I'm not in a position to go anyway given I am unemployed right now - and now the state is trying to say that I am so my benefits will be taken away - but if I had the money, I'm not sure I want to go. I've seen what happens at SG-1 cons and it sucks the fun right out.
