Presumably, those who would fear for their own personal safety,
wouldn't plan to attend Wikimania Alexandria. This doesn't mean that
these concerns shouldn't be discussed (for the safety of those who do
attend, for future Wikimanias, and to dispel unfounded fears). If
these fears are unfounded, they can be dismissed through rational
discussion. Judging by continuing posts from respected non-troll
Wikimedians, it seems these fears have not been dismissed or
adequately addressed.
