Personal Thoughts on the LambdaConf Controversy (degoes.net)

That was a good read, I think the thoughtfulness behind their deliberation was great.

  If a conference allows all peaceful people to attend 
  and speak so long as they treat attendees exceedingly
  well, then guess what I think it’s going to select for?
  Wait for it… a diverse community of peaceful people
  who are willing to treat attendees exceedingly well, 
  even when they strongly disagree with them!

A very thoughtful response.

I'm very glad that there is a conference willing to defend these views.

I hope he succeeds.

It is so weird to see an organization handling this kind of situation in a rational and professional manner instead of instantly caving in to the mob. I'm not used to it. I keep waiting for the punchline.
