Adria stated they had been talking for a while, indicating there were previous comments. PyCon determined the guys had said something offensive. So, either PyCon lives in fear of Adria, or other people also found the comments to be overtly sexist/sexual. Unless PyCon publishes an investigative report, I doubt we will get the entire story. If you personally don't find the things they said offensive, that's fine, but they were there in a professional representation, not a personal one. If PyCon and their employer both felt the guys said something clearly outside the guidelines represented to them by PyCon, that's the issue. Whether it was about dongles or donkeys doesn't matter. EDIT: Originally I stated PyCon removed them from the conference, as a followup pointed out this was incorrect.
