> We must fight back against this dangerous, oppressive trend of conferences giving into threats of boycotts by threatening to boycott any conference that doesn't do as we demand. Yep, because that's the only way to fight it that will be effective. Conferences will only stop caving in to these vicious, hateful cry-bullies when caving becomes more costly than not caving. All of the tactics these SJWs employ should be employed against them, on a massive scale. One of the instigators in this case, @nexxylove, is, get this, a "developer evangelist" for Salesforce.com. And they hold developer conferences. I hope a lot of people who find her behavior offensive let them know that the won't "feel safe" at any Salesforce developer's conference where she is in attendance. Another one, @nodebotanist, is, according to her Linkedin page, a developer evangelist with Auth0. Let's all make our feels known to these companies! Let the boycotts commence!

This seems dangerously close to inciting a brigade against these two people. I don't agree with their complaints or nodevember's response to them, but we need to be super careful not to aim the crazies at these people personally.

  It would be doing to them what they did to Crockford. Nothing more, nothing less. Turnabout is fair play. It would make them, and hopefully others, think twice before trying to publicly smear someone in the future.

    Uh,no man. When the rabid anti-SJW's go after someone they hound them, send them rape and death threats, hack them etc. It's insane. Douglas Crockford didn't deserve to be disinvited, but the accusers also don't deserve that kind of mob justice.

Douglas Crockford didn't deserve to be disinvited, but the accusers also don't deserve that kind of mob justice. So far I've seen no reports of that happening. What I would like to see is for conferences who hire these bullies as speakers to be flooded with boycott threats, along with their corporate sponsors. Until there is some personal risk involved to their own careers, these demented, vicious, hateful bullies will never stop harassing and hurting the careers of other people who hold views they disagree with or use language they don't approve of.
