It can happen to any convention, and that is true. It very much almost happened to Anthrocon too in some of its earlier years with the Westin. Kage got some flack for coming down on the side of the hotel and allowing the cleaning staff access to the rooms by a certain time frame.
I think at this point we can see that sometimes there are reasons for certain decisions made.
It's sometimes easier to blame cruel fates, but all fate is weighted by the action or inaction of every individual. Otherwise, there's absolutely no point for life, no less conventions.
Being a convention that was actually trying to specialize, and to furry writers no less, this story certainly brings me no pleasure. Hopefully the staff can regroup and figure out what is needed to come back strong.
