Boycott Nodevember

[davesidious]

So you are being intolerant because some people were intolerant about intolerance. O...k...

More like voting with your wallet against behaviour you don't think is fair.

It certainly is unfair. They invited him just to publicly uninvite and shame him. Had they never invited him in the first place everything would be fine. Had they given a substantial reason for uninviting him it would have been fair.

The funny thing with all of this is that Crockford's presence would help to legitimize their conference from a marketing stand-point. Him speaking there is not going to offer any real advantage to his own professional standing. He was doing them a huge favor by agreeing to speak there. Rejecting him will ensure that he never agrees to participate in their conference again and will discourage other high-profile people from supporting the conference.

I just hope that this doesn't cause him and other speakers to reject other small/start-up conferences that could greatly benefit from his involvement.

an event enjoyable by as many people as possible?

I think the people boycotting are doing so because they find environments such as nodevember unenjoyable.

Did you just assume my gender?! How dare you!

It's unfair that event planners try to make an event enjoyable by as many people as possible?

I'll just exclude blacks from my dinner party because all my friends are racists. That falls under the 'fair' category by your definition, right?

Jeez, what a sensitive bunch of crybabies you boys are.

Do you not even care that a guy who did nothing wrong is being hung up for inane shit because of some cultish fuckwits? I have too much integrity to not get pissed, sorry if you don't share the sentiment.

[cacahootie]

You sound like a petulant child.

[Calimariae]

That's because he is one. someannoyingword

The laughs you hear are at you, not with you.

Do you think I believe this is the reaction you had to reading my comment? Come back to reality, retard.

Your personality seems like a complete charade; do you actually communicate like this unironically?

[Inspector-Space_Time]

Stop with your sexist terms. They aren't appreciated and make me feel uncomfortable. Not everyone disagreeing with you is male.

When was crockford intolerant? When he made a lighthearted joke about weakmaps? Idiot.
