Lisa had every right to be vocal, but she also had the right to expect the convention would do its part to announce her presence before people started showing up to the con and not knowing who she was, or what was going on, etc.
It may seem like QBing, but that's critique. Similar to what you're doing with this article. Which yes, I think the one thing I do not mention is the attendance rates or other positive statements, but I also left out a lot of the side negatives too (like the swearing dealer issue). Sure the article could have had at least something more positive in it sure, and I think it may have focused one issue. But it is an issue that not once, but twice, has been highlighted by attendees is important. And that is transparency in convention/media arrangements. Other than that issue the con probably ran fine, which is fine.
But this decision, like with Furlandia, cast the shadow. But I suppose that's my fault for covering what people were talking about.
