Some SFF cons have developed processes for dealing with this sort of thing, which is adjacent to harassment regardless of the attitudes and motives behind it. In my limited experience, the processes help prevent situations where one person drives away a large portion of competent volunteers, but implementing them is messy even when the guidelines are clear and most of the organization is on board with them.

Too bad we Americans don’t get better teaching on how to run organizations democratically or via consensus.
