Easier said than done when you're a leader, event organizer, company executive or manager. Etc.

> Sorry if I offended someone!

It's like you didn't actually read the replies. They state counterarguments; they don't show anyone taking any offense.

I was referring to the instant -5 downvoting seconds after posting, which usually only happens if you insult someone or offend. I really worried I said something rude!

he had sponsors and others reaching out to him to ask what is going on. I don't think they plan on turning off twitter too.

Why does he care what the sponsors think? His problem would be solved if he stops paying attention to Twitter, his sponsors, money, friendships, etc... /s

Because sponsors pay for the conference he was trying to organize. No sponsors, no money, no conference.

He was harassed at a conference, probably in violation of their CoC, and felt threatened enough to leave. Sounds like real world harm to me.
