Sometimes people do perfectly horrible things. That doesn't change the fact that they do good things at other times, but I don't think the good things should be allowed to count against the harmful things. I don't think you can offset "beats her children" with "does amazing charity work" (to take one example).

(Which is not what you're saying, but I think we as social animals can get confused about that fact.)

Which is, sigh. I was looking forward to maybe being able to afford to go to Readercon next year. And this is an appalling response by the board.
