@moonbeamlabs So in all fairness, the idea of not having rules is not at all compatible with the Code of Conduct efforts

@moonbeamlabs The downside is that the system’s (hopefully benevolent) dictators can’t be held accountable for not adhering to their rules

@moonbeamlabs It is similar in that we often make a conscious decision to not have a rule because codifying some things would be negative.

@fredverheul I completely agree they shouldn’t be an issue. But you can’t un-know some things, and neither can your audience and speakers

@ctford Wow, and that’s the one thing that shitty account tweets that’s not merely ripping off xkcd.

@robsmallshire Arguably not the same thing, as a campus context is typically public and not comparable to a commercial or community event.
As organizers have complete power to change their own rules, they also have to take complete responsibility for the outcome.

But you don’t have a right to speak at my conference, so I have no excuse for accepting you if you’re a racist/sexist/a general bigot

The mistake is to think organizers have to come up with laws, as if they were state legislators, to ensure everyone’s treated equally

I’ve changed my mind about this racists-at-conferences thing. It’s tempting to only look at conduct at the conference, but it’s misguided.

Maybe as conference organizers we shouldn‘t even try to come up with a set of rules, just not invite or accept people we think are assholes.

@argorak Yep, persönlich sehe ich das genau so. Aber mit einem Code of Acceptable Politics (statt Conduct) habe ich ein Problem.

@argorak Klar müssen sie das. Einige der Reaktionen sind aus meiner Sicht aber einfach nicht passend.

@argorak Frage: Müsste Medium ihn als Autor ausschließen? Müsste man Medium als Leser oder Autor seinetwegen boykottieren?

@argorak Ich finde das nicht, hast Du da mal einen Link? (Nicht zu seinem Projekt, zur Verbindung mit der „Politik“)

@rzhevsky No, I wouldn’t. Admittedly, Rosenberg was executed for war crimes; doesn’t seem to me this Moldbug idiot is in the same league yet

@rzhevsky I didn’t intend to excuse or justify or sympathize with any of his views.
