Keith whines and complains, and then when people do all the research
for him, still complains. His post accused the convention of catering
to motorists as if it were some sort of conspiracy to keep him out,
because Keith, being a Special Snowflake, is inconvenienced by the
move.

In 30 years of fandom, I've found that we can be a hard-assed lot when
dealing with someone who annoys the group (whatever that group may
be.) Someone who bites the hand that is trying to help him is going to
annoy many people.
