The whole situation is just ridiculous. SJW's have well and truly infiltrated the Javascript community. The Paul Straw linked post really highlights how silly this situation is. A few comments taken completely out of context and because some people took them the wrong way, things spiralled out of control. I personally am not a fan of Douglas Crockford, but my views of him personally don't override the fact that he did nothing wrong in this situation. He should not have been un-invited to the conference. Their loss, Crockford is a smart guy and a huge drawcard for an event like this. Now we get to listen to a bunch of twenty-somethings talk to us about a language that Crockford was pioneering when they were still in school.
