I think this is not a charitable take. The writing is balanced and he highlights that this is his subjective opinion and preference. Your comment is hyperbole and blows the whole thing out of proportion.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoHe highlights that this is his subjective opinion and preference right before announcing that he’s going to try and stop the talk from happening by sitting down on the stage. I think this is an extraordinarily rude thing to do at a volunteer led event and really demands a better justification than subjective dislike.
- Etheryte 2y agoYou could say the same about any peaceful protest, whether it's this, climate, politics, or etc. I don't have a strong opinion about this specific talk happening, but I think that if you see something that's wrong in the world, you should try to right it, extremes notwithstanding.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoI could not say the same about any peaceful protest because most peaceful protests are not held to disrupt volunteer-led events. I don’t agree that you should try and enforce your personal preferences for who deserves a conference speaking slot by declaring you’ll try and prevent those you don’t approve of from taking the stage.
