The incident involving my home address was separate. We now know who the person was: a father desperately trying to find care for his seriously ill child. He had hoped the conference might somehow give him access to doctors or treatment, and had formed a very negative picture of us based on things he had read online, including claims he had understandably assumed were true. Once emotions had settled, we spoke calmly and I showed him the facts and the reality: there is no profit being made here, this is a very small team lacking funding, and a scientific conference cannot provide individual access to care or treatment. His perception of us turned out to be very different from the reality. For me, the matter is closed. But it was a powerful reminder that words matter. What we say about people online can become someone else’s truth. And to avoid any further misunderstanding: there was no death threat. 4/
