@ryanoneill @lambda_conf Would the same apply to religious fundamentalists?

@atommorgan@lambda_conf if they believed that other humans do not deserve to be treated as humans, then yes. -
.
@atommorgan@lambda_conf based on recent legislative actions, if the conf was being held in NC then I would have canceled too. -
@ryanoneill@atommorgan@lambda_conf Twitter provides a platform for plenty of hate speech and reprehensible ideas. How is that different? -
@z5h@atommorgan@lambda_conf fair question and something I've given a great deal of thought about too. -
@z5h@atommorgan conf is a curated event with paying attendees. There is already a decision on who can speak. In-person adds to the emph. -
@z5h@atommorgan I paid $400 for a ticket to the event which I'm choosing to not use. Others can and do feel differently, and that's ok.
