At Worldcon, heard many great things about programming, including a non-racist "future of border protection" panel thanks to firm panel moderation.
On the other hand, on the Cthulhu Internationale panel, a panelist claimed that Lovecraft lived in and often wrote about Maine, and that a common them of his stories was that racial differences don't matter in the face of alien threats. Good thing I was blackballed from programming this year (CI was a panel I developed by the way), so that this important misinformation could be promulgated.
