Thanks for sharing your experience and speaking out. I'm sorry for sounding overly critical of you...not all organizations have the capacity/resources to be run in an ordered way, and some things are done ad-hoc until they're popular enough for a more formal system (as lightning talks generally are in various conferences). While I can see why JA would be offended/paranoid by the very contemplation of the topic, I reiterate that does not at all justify the level of continued hostility, or the demands for you to violate the privacy of the proposal's submitter.
