Well, and the thing is they WEREN'T criticised for anti-Semitism, because that is a crime whose name shall not be spoken. I'm being dramatic, but... also maybe I'm not?
At an in person con, the panel moderator would be expected to handle anything like that actually at the panel, and the safety staff would be around to deal with harassment, but at an actual in person con, the dynamics are really different than an online con, which can and I think should, have some kind of moderation of the chat space for the safety of the members. Now I'm going to call NOT IT on that, because I think I just demonstrated that I'm a terrible moderator, but I do think that's a reasonable expectation.
Anyway, there's a feedback survey, and I've suggested that the con needs to work on both anti-Semitism AND clarifying the role of the safety staff in online spaces.
