Hi Anna,
You're truly loyal to Kim, which is a wonderful thing; I would wish for a friend like you if I ever found myself in unfortunate circumstances. But those of us who are intending to go to the West Chester conference are certainly not going out of any disloyalty to Kim; I really must emphasise that. I don't know Kim personally (I met her very briefly in 2012), and I'm only partially aware of what all the trouble is about...
However, John and I have been invited to participate in the conference, and I'm SO looking forward to seeing old friends again. Plus - we have nothing to compare with it over here so the opportunity is immensely appealing.
I find it no mean feat to hop across The Pond. I hate travelling, actually, and had more or less made up my mind that I wouldn't do much from now on... but the lure of the workshops, panels etc, was too much to resist.
I may even make Poetry By The Sea as well - what a bonus that would be, but it depends on the logistics.
I don't have the faintest clue what all the WCU financial skulduggery is about and, to be brutally frank, I don't care, but I do like you and I hope we may have the chance to meet again. Your loyalty to Kim mustn't cloud your judgement of everyone else though, Anna!
As Shaun so wisely said: most people don't attend a conference on the basis of its top administrators, but rather on the merits of its organizers, contributors, panelists, and participants
