The snowflakes at Worldcon are having a very bad weekend. On Friday, the San Francisco chapter of Worldcon settled a lawsuit and agreed to pay restitution and to issue a public apology for banning conservative author Jon Del Arroz from their convention in 2018 and for besmirching him as a “racist.”
....
The ban resulted when Del Arroz asked Worldcon for security measures because he feared for his safety due to the mob-like attacks on him and his family from the industry insiders. Instead of helping him, Worldcon banned him and made public statements claiming the author was a “racist” and a “bully,” with no substantiated evidence to back those statements up.
....
After refusing to let it go, as most spineless conservatives would, Del Arroz fought for his reputation in court. Now, Worldcon has agreed to pay him $4,000, and issued this apology:

Worldcon is apparently just another Marxist organization doing the oppression Marx warned against.
I am guessing that this writer, named Megan Fox, is not the actress by the same name. You know, the knock out gourgeous brunette who starred in Transformer Movies.
No. She wrote the book “Believe Evidence” in rebuttal to the “believe women” mantra of Me Too.

We need more of this. Sue the Wokesters into the unemployment lines. Hopefully, the people they crossed will be serving the soup.
i am glad he pursued it and won.
$4000 is a pittance though.
Fighting back against the hate-filled ignoramuses of the Left is a worthy fight and on occasion, a good payday for libel/defamation/slander and blatant “diversity discrimination”.
Ralph Ellison and the “usual gang of sci-fi writer suspects” would agree.
For people who don’t know, Worldcon is a science fiction convention.
“$4000 is a pittance though.”
It is. Possibly the guy was just trying to make a point and not really go after the money, but in my experience (I’m not a lawyer) discovery in just about any suit involves turning over all your financial records. It’s possible this organization didn’t have any money or insurance. For an example, I knew a woman who sued a contract trainer for sexual harassment. He had to provide his bank statements for something like the last year and swear that he had no insurance to cover the situation. He had no real money, she basically got all the cash he had in the bank.
