Yanno, I flashed to our panel from last year. With people crying and defending their refusal to accept Ianto's death and *Paul Cornell* actually making the damn effort to reach out, even though it was his friend who got death threats.
And as emotional and beautiful and awkward as it all was, nobody got bullied in that spacetime. Nobody got told they were wrong or that they needed to toughen up.
I even got defended online in one of the SIJ groups afterward by one of the SIJ people at the panel.
And then I see this, and I just wonder where the fuck it all went so horridly wrong.
