That DragonCon story is repulsive. Still, I think I'm almost as horrified at the measures the guy has to take to get treatment for his medical conditions (oatmeal baths are an actual and documented treatment for psoriasis, not, as the article hints, a made-up luxury) and what that means for all the people in prison who don't have DragonCon funding their legal appeals. And yes, he's obviously using his conditions as stalling tactics, but at the same time, if he had access to proper medical treatment he wouldn't be able to use them that way.
