Lynn stated that she took screenshots a few pages back (it’s the one right before these two driving through the snow or the one after it). And even if she hadn’t, there is definitely someone else out there who took screenshots. Internet drama tends to attract a lot of people in that respective community.
Technically Sarah has told a lie with the truth because what she said makes Jim out as a Nazi sympathizer as well as making it sound like Bork con reacting to that. This will hit the rumor mill in seconds flat. OTOH…
a) Nothing Sarah said is inaccurate, Jim did say the nazi (Terrence) was allowed to stay a
b) This might actually be how Sarah remembers things.
c) The gloves have long since come off. I both appreciate the deft use of a stiletto and tsk a bit at the underhanded strike.
Two thoughts and a possible conclusion plus bonus rambling.
1) Jim is lacking con staff and resources.
2) Jim and Terrance are already working together, at least in a common bond of disliking BorkCon at its staff.
Conclusion: Terrance will be added by Jim to Unagi Con’s staff.
Ramble: It’s been mentioned that Jim has been running his con for something like a decade, and events are showing he’s perfectly willing to set up perceived “enemies” to engineer a situation back to his favor (if Bork Con folds, Garner would presumibly be free to re-join Unagi Con’s staff and it’s gear might be available for dirt cheap) and to deal out retribution. My assumption here is that this is not a pattern that developed recently. The story is still being told here, but will other former con-staffers who’ve worked with and have been burned by Jim speak up on seeing the Bork Con “drama” rising?
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

Oh man it is going to get out to the artist.

Really, the Nazi thing may have been the catalyst, but it’s not the reason.
The reason is because Unagi’s con chair is/was running an anti-Bork Con FB group.

True, but that’s where it started. But I do hope someone screenshotted that FB group.

Where’s the lie though?
Everything she said was the truth.

To be fair, Jim sided with the Nazi twice. Once at the con, and again with the FB group.
