“I’m uncomfortable being in the same company of invited author guests as Cremieux… I do not want to be a special guest at the same event he’s a special guest at.”
Reading between the lines, it seems the crux might be that you don’t want to risk the reputational consequences of being featured alongside Cremieux as an Invited Author? (correct me if I’m wrong!)
If that’s the case, would you attend if the organizers removed your handle from the public list of invitees? Or would you still not want to attend as a regular guest as long as he’s distinguished as an Invited Author?
To use the exact words from the website, “The sites below embody the virtues we are celebrating.”, that kinda implies that OP and Cremieux embody the same virtues.
