Lol. My gun is not welcome, so I'm not welcome. Whiny snowflake much ? How insecure can one be ? Conferences are much safer for not NOT allowing guns. Don't play the victim, and don't hurt anyone please.

As for trademark control, well, that's the way the world is. "Rust" is reserved for official Rust products. If youhave an issue with copyrights and stuff, go vote accordingly, but Rust doesn't have much of a choice unless they want to let "Rust" go public domain and let any and every one use it w/o any control.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

Edit: you posted a whole bunch of flamewar comments. Can you please not do that on HN, regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are, or how provocative something in an article is or you feel it is? We're trying for a different kind of conversation here.

You can't normalize carrying guns at dev conferences. If you let someone mention that in an "issues about a language" post, we must be able to point out a) how unrelated the 2 are and b) how murderous guns and gun-carriers are.

Guns were banned at an NRA conference. That's their own opinion on guns and gun carriers. Stop killing kids.

All that is orthogonal to whether you broke HN's rules or not. You broke them badly. That's not cool.

We have to ban accounts that do that, and I don't want to ban you so I'm asking you not to do it again.

And that would be bad because....?

This is an open-source programming language, not a business. IMHO it shouldn't even be trademarked.

If you lose control of the trademark, you open the door to fake rust.
