What this shows me from your comment is that you have decided that the safety & security of vulnerable scholars, is not something you or your organizers are willing to substantially tackle w/out defaulting to classic

As what happened at
#IMC2018 meant I received violent threats against my life including rape threats, deciding that it's "my bitterness" when I have seen no evidence other than you saying, not the director or the organizing committee, that somehow things are happening is1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

classic victim-blaming, it's "my fault" for expecting actual safety & security, let alone organizers who communicate clearly. No.

You can educate yourself and read. And if this is how the members of the organizing committee plan to deal with this, then it further shows that
#IMC2019 and all IMCs in the future are not safe for any marginal scholar. Statements do nothing and clearly you have now decided the1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

way to go is to victim blame me for basically going to fulfill my professional duties, in which I paid the conference to attend, to give talks and moderate sessions, but somehow that should put me in further violent danger and it's "my fault."

I will only respond to say that I am not victim-blaming. I said that there are things happening in enforcement that may be out of your view. Obviously this conversation is going nowhere & you are accusing me of completely inappropriate things, so it is pointless to continue it.

Exactly what does "bitterness" have anything to do with this thread. You brought it up and it is a form of victim blaming. So exactly what did you think your statement actually indicated? You are part of the organizing committee, it has done nothing to show me it has changed.

If you or other members of the organizing committee cannot address serious safety, security, racism, sexism issues around
#IMC then who is in charge? Are you not responsible along w/ the director? So please do not deflect when you wanted to respond to my explanation of last year.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

You wrote what you wrote, what exactly does "bitterness" have anything to do w/ the actual problems. And what exactly has
@IMC_Leeds shown me that they have addressed the problem? And yes, you are victim-blaming. If you as a new organizing member cannot deal with critique1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
about a serious security issue, but would rather blame it on my "tone" how exactly do you imagine I should have any faith in you or anyone else on this committee to do their job?

To literally call me "bitter" because what the conference did put me in physical and perpetual violent danger and to decide my "bitter" attitude is the problem and not that they refused to address conditions that put me in danger is the textbook example of victim blaming.
