Yep, jocko55, myself and a few others left the B5 club meeting to go over there.
Quite agree that it's easily done if you're not in the loop, but doesn't that hit to the core of the issue? The people running a worldcon should have been "in the loop", or at the very least asked someone who was. The obvious contrast is that we in the media clubs knew about A3 and were (at least initially) interested, while A3 appeared to neither know nor care about media fandom.
You say that a comment about not needing media fans did the most damage, but for those for whom actions speak louder than words, the actions matched those words.
