No, I think someone should be *excluded* from talking at a conference because they literally write Eugenics theory, regardless of the brackets, semicolons and spaces they write in a text editor.
It sounds like we just have a difference in moral standards.

Yeah.
Well - at least if I ever run a conference, you can be confident that you will be welcome to it anyways. :)
Since moral standards vary a lot across cultures and time, statements like your last line have dubious longevity.
Even when it comes to unpleasant people like Moldbug I try to avoid talk of moral standards beyond the really clear-cut ones...
Sure you don't have to, but if you do, it's a hell of a signal. (At any rate, Curtis Yarvin was invited for his semi-esoteric functional-based distributed operating platform, Urbit.)
> If you're protecting personnel, even after a number of others in your community have shown disagreement with the person's actions (and protections afterwards), just admit you agree with those thoughts.
Sorry, I don't. Of course, you'll believe that I do anyway, and that's fine. I do think it's a bit sad that you think that the only reason someone could want somebody to be included, is because they were your ideological compatriots.
In fact, the only reason I want anyone to be included in a conference is if they have contributions to the conference's topic.
