DHH has proposed killing people?

Have you read his blog post about London? The one where he praises the racist convicted criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon? The one where he described the violent march as being full of "normal, peaceful Brits"? The one where he stirs up ethnic tension by talking about "rape gangs" from one minority (despite the stats not backing up his assertion)? The one where he lavishes praise on an obsessive trasphobe?

What do you think he is trying to do if not incite violence and hate?

By that standard, wouldn't DHH say that you're trying to kill him and people like him? Has he used his power to demand that people that share your viewpoints aren't platformed at tech conferences?

No.

I am not advocating violence against him. I am not trying to get him thrown out of his home.

The thing is, DHH can really easily stop being racist. Then people won't complain when he's invited to speak.

But the people he is complaining about cannot change their skin colour. They cannot change their nationality (according to him).

The people DHH support are advocating violence. They aren't asking politely for people to leave - they are threatening.

DHH is welcome to tell people not to come to my conferences. People can make up their own mind whether to listen to his opinion (or mine).
