A woman told me that a gun toting bro physically threatened her on @mxlearn over @NipsConference name change. Can the board realize how terribly clueless they are on stresses we face. Sign the petition https://chn.ge/2Ra0Ysv #ProtestNIPS

I have blocked tens of trolls today. most obvious ones spew misogynistic hatred. others clothe it as a honest argument and will veer off in usual directions : men have nipples too (yeah dude and whose are objectified and made fun of) it is just a name (so let's change it!) blah.

A student from a top #ml program wrote how a senior male professor (likely her advisor) is strongly against name change and has told entire lab to not engage in #protestNIPS the non-change is about holding on to power and patriarchy

@mxlearn and @reddit attract worst behavior. I will never engage there. Most women stay away. I am called the worst names for starting #ProtestNIPS. Visceral rage that these men possess saddens me. Wish they had better support groups/therapy. Need to teach men emotional health

For those defending @NipsConference in name of tradition, I couldn't be more proud of it. Not many know that it started at @Caltech Name didn't bother me until infusion of #broculture into #ai #ml Sending a strong message to them is criticalhttp://m.caltech.edu/news/caltech-celebrates-30-years-its-computation-and-neural-systems-option-79528 …

The name change fiasco by @NipsConference is part of a deeper problem. It is run like a dictatorship with no elections, no townhall, no transparency. Can't think of any other major conference run this way. #ai #ml deserves better. #ProtestNIPS

Bullying and trolling for just speaking up about @NipsConference name change is shameful. I can speak up, but still feel emotionally exhausted. Others are less fortunate. A couple of emails on how bullying continues. shutting down #ProtestNIPS is to maintain status quo and powerpic.twitter.com/oGGoxew5nx

I am going to post some of the garbage in @mxlearn to give everyone an idea of what women have to go through just to stay in #ml #ai #ProtestNIPS In the post below, our hero laments that rape apologists can no longer continue to work in linux communities. #takehatespeechdownpic.twitter.com/CMBojTXTgN
