Right? If you're asked not to speak at a conference, why would you go on to consistently prove it was the right decision to remove you?

It is the bullshit asymmetry principle: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.

As another person mentioned, DerbyCon got tired of dealing with it (https://www.derbycon.com/blog/derbycon-9-0-every-beginning-h...). And then had to respond to a bullshit storm related to their integrity a month later (https://www.derbycon.com/blog/derbycon-clarifications-inclus...).

I could turn that around to you: why would you expect someone removed from a schedule for being known to be disruptive, to not be disruptive when removed?

Hello somebodyelse1. We had our commercial reasons to change the lineup. After living this, I think their reaction speaks for itself.

Invited and then dis-invited doesn't seem to change much.

The response still seems way out of line / indicate the dis-invite was for good reason.
