Leaving Penguicon
On April 30, 2017, Maynard stated on his Medium page that since social policy started at a progressive convention but off-placed him as a conservative, his appearance at Penguicon that year would be the last one, saying "I will return the connection explicitly nonpolitical, known as strong on the one hand, cultural wars will not be invited at all, or if they will be offset by someone on the other. The Panel will not be politically controversial, or else there will be an opportunity - explicitly requested as such - to bring contradictory views Ideally, fraudsters will leave a culture war entirely outside.The disagreement will be explicitly excluded from the harassment policy.
