Fandom includes a lot of people whose minds seem to operate at times on these lines:
1) Everyone's personal decisions must be amenable to rational analysis.
2) I am a Logical, Sensible person and if I come to a considered conclusion on a matter, then it is the Last Word.
3) From (2), it follows that anyone who disagrees with my reasoning must be wrong, and from (1) this includes anything they say or do that I wouldn't have said or done myself.
Running conventions got a whole lot less stressful when I realised this.
