Right! A couple ideas I had...
•We could put someone at the door to check credentials throughout the workshop. Maybe someone who wants to go but doesn't want to present?
•We could send someone into the hall afterward to make sure no uncredentialled photographers were out there.
•Maybe some would prefer NOT to have their posting name on their name tag? That way, no stranger wandering through could connect your face with your long, personal posting history. You could still disclose your posting ID to small groups & individuals.Planning like that could be enough to deter any pranksters from coming and to reassure the Babblers who want to participate.
I agree with everyone that this is a very low risk, as I said at the start. Any "grudgers" who'd like to hurt Bob's feelings that much probably don't have the resources to travel to Toronto and would probably be afraid of getting humiliated by the unflappable Dr Bob, anyway. (Props to gg for that observation.)
But the risk isn't absolute zero. Some ideas like these are good to have available. Thanks to everyone for this really civil discussion.
