No problem, but this has been public knowledge for the better part of a week.

I didn't know anything about until it was posted here.

It's a long story and there are undoubtedly details to come.

Whatever happened at Origins to Katie, she did report it to GAMA and she was not the first person to talk about it on social media. She responded after others talked about it. I know because I follow Katie and a lot of other people/groups who were at Origins.

Thanks. I didnt think I was interpreting what I was reading, correctly. Thus my original question.

MOD HAT ON


Mike - I tried to gently nudge you to clean it up, but now I'm in mod mode.  Please remove the graphic and references to it.  If one of the mod team does it, there's a vacation attached.

This sort of behavior is not funny and is exactly the sort of bullshit that women in wargaming deal with and shouldn't have to


We'll circle back around to this at 1600 GMT to check

1] I'm glad they reported it.  Was it off-venue or on-venue?  I'm asking because most of the close by brew-pubs had company events.

2] If there were one or two incidents out of 18,000 attendees there is not a widespread problem.  Specific reports should be investigated and acted upon if warranted, but again 18,000 attendees over 5 days something will happen.  At a major college football game with 100,000 attending there will be fights, drug arrests, DUIs and other things from that many people.

if a women get verbally harassed on a fair, or elsewhere in public with people around she should immediately slap that guy into the face with clear audible strength. like a lady does!
if the now humiliated and surly surprised pig dares to start a ruckus and the police had to show up, when he confessed his words they file a charge against him in addition.
(astriction: the woman does has to have the looks that incident was at least plausible to the cops when the guy claims 'that crazy bitch suddenly assaulted me') 

if a women get physical harassed on a fair, she should call the cops immediately.

but please don't wait a few years in silence and then suddenly start bloggin about it or cry out in social media....its so pathetic #meetoo #meetoo the latest thing

i know what i am talkin about
My EO worked as 1Class flight attendance and later some similar service jobs in her early years to finance her studies ...you can imagine the rest. 
That was her immediate reaction (internal Lufthansa training policy too), it worked extremely well and was supported by the pilot in charge or restaurant Patrons
