Doesn't it undermine your preconception, in that this conference serves just a niche of Ruby development, has fewer speakers, and yet was able to find non-token minorities to serve as panelists? Seems like the twitteraphere that you refer to was right

The point was that using twitter encourages a mob mentality, which doesn't mean the mob is right if it isn't provoked.
The other point was that the mob in some part is more than capable of helping instead of getting out the pitchforks and torches. It simply chooses not to help (via the afoorementioned private channels).
