Organizers can & should set the tone & priorities of their events via participant & topic curation, but this is totally unacceptable. Don't happily host a presenter's slides & then remove them for "violating policy" when the mob comes; don't test the waters w/ other people's jobshttps://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1046901543927132160 …

I'm not sure that fits with the way academic workshops are usually run. The organizers don't usually check people's slides or talks beforehand. The convention is to trust the speaker to adjust their tone to the audience.

Science conferences usually do some vetting of the scientific merit of the work one proposes to present, but I think this was a special case, given the theme. The bibliometrics are suspect & hard to defend, but his physics work is probably better. Flawed people can do good work.
