One thing is this person didn't mention the other people.

Telling this story this way isn't likely to be seen as attacking someone else / not a huge benefit to them / perhaps LESS of an incentive to lie..



From the article, it sounds like the only reason they didn't name the people was that their lawyer told them not to.


That is not correct. I have no interest in damaging anybody. That is why I did not write names and other things that happened in the article. He has already been banned from other conferences.

I am trying to protect myself based on what happened and other people told me, I assure you the last few weeks have been a hell for me. My only objective is to be able to run my conference as I want and not to be harrassed.


But you did identify the woman on Twitter. I won't link to it because I don't think we should share it further, but someone posted it in this discussion.

I sympathize but I think the court of public opinion is unlikely to do anything other than further escalate things.


I watched this unfold on Twitter, and it was a third-party related to the woman that decided to "out" themselves.

It's not an easy position for a conference organizer to be in.


Maybe, but that doesn't change that there's not a lot of value here as far as any given he said he said type situation.

I can belive the writer, it really changes nothing as far as who they're describing as I've still no idea who they are / the author isn't really changing my opinion about anything.
