On this kind of situations I usually follow the "vulcan" philosophy described by Wayne D. Dyer in "Your Erroneous Zones".
It comes down to "you choose how you feel". There is nothing I can do to make you choose a different feeling so I dont' need to bother trying.
Needless to say, you gotta be smart and avoid or apologize if you can help it, but in my opinion, the whole pycon situation would not be a big deal if everybody understood that concept.
