This is a resolution of the strange accusations against a presenter who simply disagreed with someone else in his presentation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24926214 Note that the person he disagreed with was not even one of the accusers.
It’s strange that it took 10 days and significant public controversy for them to decide that his talk didn’t violate the code of conduct. The presenter posted his material online (smart move) and no reasonable person would believe it was something worth investigating, let alone that it had ill intent.
It’s also strange that they’ve apparently backdated this blog post clearing the presenter. The text clearing him of wrongdoing was posted today, November 8th (Source: https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1325606466556895232... ), but the time stamp in the post shows November 3rd for me. Perhaps they’re trying, again, to rewrite history to make their response to this situation look less bad.
