It hasn't happened to me, but it has happened to other people. Also, I have had unpleasant experiences and it hasn't put me off participating in fandom, but I am up with ensuring that people with less of a thick skin and sharp tongue and easily deployed elbows than me can come to a convention and knowing they can have a good time, not because there is a total guarantee of nothing happening, but because if it did, they know they would be listened to and people would have their backs.

Also, I think that characterising objections to Jonathan Ross as only arising from the possibility that he might say something on the night is a bit unfair to the breath of objections, most of whom have been expressed without resorting to name-calling.
