Basically with children, my thought is that babies shouldn't be brought to cons. They sleep, eat, etc. on their own schedule ;)
As for limting what an actor can say. I think it truly is up to the convention to let the actor know (since it's tough to see if kids are sitting in the audience) if it's got a large section of young folk. I did attend one con with Jason Momoa and well, he used the "F" word rather loudly, unaware I guess there were tykes in the audience. For me, that's the extent of bad language I've heard, although I've heard one or two SG1 actors certainly have a vocabulary! ;) And I think in one of those instances it was a nighttime caberet event.
I don't think there's any perfect solution to this but have no probelm agreeing to disagree ;)
When I've come across folks who are, well, odorous, I normally just hold my breath and get upwind. I've never gone 'take a bath!' otherwise i would have told a few coworkers that a few years ago... Have never heard a skin condition like that, but that's very interesting to hear about.
Oh yes, be courteous to hotel/restaurant staff! I'd like to think that goes without saying, but...
