Yes it means exactly that - There was a recent talk about sexual health that was canceled because it ran against that rule. http://violetblue.tumblr.com/post/4

  I read that blog and the impression I got was that she was railroaded by the "audience member". An audience member who specifically asks if there's any "rape" discussion in the talk, then, when discussion of date rape drugs occurs, the organizer says that "the member mentioned that if you describe how to use date rape drugs..." How does random audience member know that a talk will cover such drugs? That's a very specific comment to make to complain. "Oh, if they talk about rape, it's a trigger for me", "and if they explain how to use date rape drugs, that's the same as rape". Pseudo-edit: I read further down the article that indeed her talk was targeted. That being said, I have little sympathy for Violet Blue - she's been known to have a litigious past based on changing her name and then invoking domain squatting and trademark law against others who were around before her.

    I come from the medical apps field, so I find the idea of possibly not being able to talk about my work frightening. Sex (any reference to the existence of sex, to crib from This American Life), not okay. Religion or politics, okay. Odd.
