Streisand effect strikes again

Option A: let the dude have his talk. Nobody hears about it beyond the walls of defcon. Move along.

Option B: uninvite and call security. Guy becomes instant personality on reddit and hn. I didn't know that defcon had become a shitty, small minded operation that abuses volunteer time and can't take an Easter egg, well now I do!

Well played...

I stopped paying attention a few years ago because their leadership was visibly heading in this direction.

It's always kind of frustrating to see programmers and other software people participating/defending that kind of thing considering logic is our whole game to begin with.

The premise of ‘tech people’ not at all succumbing to the same shortcomings as any other human is utterly language and the source of so much undeserved hubris in this industry. Developers are some of the worst, ‘illogical’ people I’ve ever met, especially when it comes to anything interpersonal.

I think this was going to blow up no matter what. Every single badge...

I'm pretty sure it would've stayed a defcon thing
