Being shocked that he went off on a tangent about SJWs is like being shocked at Darrell Schweitzer's WFC programming choices.

I'd never heard of him until now. Is he ordinarily that bad?

Exactly. They selected him. They trusted him to moderate a panel well, not hijack it for his own purposes.

Yeah, that seemed a poor choice. But I think the line was crossed when he spent the first ten minutes on a rant.

It wasn't just a "tangent" because he didn't engage in the original discussion to begin with. (From what I've read.)

which was a strange choice, but he didn't moderate it. It sounds like he was kicked out for taking advantage.

Yeah. If he was kicked out for the panel that'd seem wrong to me, based on what I've heard. He was an ass, but predictably so.

@asymbina I've been to panels where the mod hijacked the whole thing for their hobby horse, it's the opposite of fun. -
One was a panel on the spectrum of hard and soft sci fi that one mod hijacked to tell us how everything but hard sucked
