Traces of the Dragon’s alien form
From ghostly flights of the quantum swarm--
Arcana named only in wizards’ scrolls--
To a map of dramatic social roles
Enter alpha, beta, omega males
And history hidden by fairy-tales
Alphas lead by preying on the weak
Feminized betas follow while the bleak
Truth is glimpsed by omega drop-outs
By anxious mystics brought low by doubts
All concealed by elaborate dances
White lies, puffery and PC trances

Out of all of them I think this guy is the most pathetic. It's like if somebody wondered what Nietzsche would be like if he were in high school. I feel like we're not getting all the arguments he gets into with his mom and the therapist she made him start seeing after he got busted shoplifting.
As far as I can tell he's in his 50s, despite sounding like an angry teen at all times.

I'm pretty sure the best thing you could possibly do to troll Mr. Mean-Spirited is go full "I'm sorry you feel this way" and be incredibly supportive and sympathetic while not believing a word he says.

I was worried it was DE-adjacent but a quick scan of the blog didn't turn up any red flags, I guess I missed something. It's so hard to find mon-reactionary nihilists.

Empathy is an invasion of emotional privacy. Only a true voyeur wants to know what someone else is feeling. Somebody else’s torment is actually none of your business. Another person’s hurt ought to be kept private.

Who is Douglas Crockford, and why do people hate him suddenly? I know virtually nothing about the great big world of software development, but from what a very cursory google search showed me, he didn't seem to be anything like Curtis Yarvin.

He's heavily involved in Javascript development, really influential in that regard, so absolutely the sort of person you'd want to have on your conference, and so far as I can tell he's just a standard white guy who made a few inadequately-PC comments, or possibly a history of being kind of an rear end in a top hat to one of the presenters. Personally I think they're overreacting, but their conference, their rules.

Funny how his defender seems way shittier than Crockford himself, making him look worse by association.

Crockford is really unlucky this happened in the age of ever-intensifying nerd culture wars where his most vehement defenders are going to be the worst human beings imaginable.

Well, the worst human being imaginable, and pretty bad human beings writing long hand-wringing blogposts/tweetstorms about how they don't support doxxing and SWATting, but man those evil Prog SJWs are totally asking for it

Those comments he made do seem pretty mild. I wonder if he's just an unpleasant person, or if he said more stuff that didn't get reported. I'm guessing they wouldn't have made this decision unless they got private complaints from other people, too.

Almost certainly, since the conference's statement is that due to private feedback, Crockford's presence would make some other presenters too uncomfortable to speak or even attend.

I like how they couldn't decide whether they moderately or minorly supported bodybuilding and fitness. (Judging from the examples I've seen, it's really more of moderate opposition.)
