#2It was a matter of time before Bob Martin was targeted by the purity mob. What a sad, fascist and cowardly society we have become.
Re: The Disinvitation
#3It was actually easy to identify the conference in question by searching for the author's name plus "Chicago" and "conference". DuckDuckGo's search summary shows him as a speaker, but the actual page does not. And the date of his own talk coincides with the first day of that conference.

Some of us do not accept "this person has said [thing considered objectionable] and therefore should not be allowed to talk about [unrelated topic] even if they perfectly follow the guidelines of the relevant event."

#7"Disinviting someone from a virtual conference who can draw a potentially large audience away from that virtual conference is not a particularly intelligent tactic."
I think Uncle Bob greatly overestimates his pull in the tech talks world.

I have read some of his blog yes. Did not find anything wrong with it. Can you point to something racist or sexist you might have found?
Re: The Disinvitation
#9So, let me get this straight.
Conference asks Martin to give a presentation. No money is to change hands, no contract is signed.
Conference changes their mind and decides to not have him speak after all.
Martin's reaction is to throw around legal threats like "breech of contract" [sic] and "tortious interference"???
Sounds to me like the conference dodged a bullet.

Just a reminder that the he wrote texts like the following:
“Remember when the software SJWs told us that “Software Craftsmanship” was exclusionary to women because it was clearly male?”
Good that the CoC was enforced. People like him who are still stuck in the 2016 election cycle are actively hurting the software community and hold us back.
