I think those speakers and stalls who were too feart to go to the convention should be named). I agree with that. An organisation like PF doesn't just run on money, they run on reputation too. If the conference was cancelled due to people pulling out then PF has every right to name the cancellers so future conventions, moots and fests can make up their minds whether they would be willing to risk inviting them. I agree that the statement was badly worded, and one of the northern committee members has admitted as much. But the post on the forum about the Radio 4 statement was quoting a rumour, and to castigate PF for something they didn't say, but was attributed to them by someone random is ridiculous. j xxx
