Did you ever actually see anything like that? Because I've been attending to many of IT conferences and never ever seen something even remotely close.

I know you weren't replying to me but I've never seen it. I also would never condone that kind of behavior, or even be associated with people who did that.

Someone actually flagged my comment, which to me is pretty jaw dropping. This isn't a topic we can discuss? Okay.

Only diversity in looks and skin color is endorsed. Not the diversity of ideas (at least when it comes to online discussions on the subject) or backgrounds or experiences ;-) Which seems to be the opposite of what the original goal was i think.

Please don't create new accounts to violate the guidelines with. Not only do we ban them (which we've done), but we ban the main account if it continues.

Dunno - I never met a person like that in real life either. Maybe I'm lucky to only deal with reasonable balanced people at conferences.
