Lap dances @ hack days? Drawings of ejaculation on breasts during a tech preso? We can't explain Linux to girls? We can do much better, all.

@lh Hey, Bruce Perens and others insist that there's no problem here, at least none worth worrying about. =/ #shootmenow
-
@lefty Perhaps it is time for a code of conduct for the whole tech community? It's not just Open Source folks who run into this drek.
-
@lh Proprietary companies, like GOOG & AAPL, already have such codes: they're called HR guidelines. That's why they have 10x participation.

@lh "What about the poor guys with Asperger's who have to go without girlfriends? Who speaks for them?" http://bit.ly/4tdvVP #shootmenow

@lh, it has been the worst year in my memory on this issues in my 15 years in FLOSS. I am just hoping storm is worst before it clears.

@lh Cool! Looks like a very useful resource!

@ender2070 And if you had two neurons to rub together, you'd realize whether or not ESR "attacks" MikeeUSA is not the issue.
-
@ender2070 Moreover, if Bruce Perens, or any other "luminary", says witless things, I'm going to point out that they're smoking crack.
-
@bkuhn Too bad the FSF condones grossly sexist "humor" on the part of its President, huh?
-
@ender2070 Excuse me? What, exactly, are you talking about? (You might be interested to learn that cannibis is legal in the Netherlands.)
-
@bkuhn Hey, look what's on _your_ side! http://identi.ca/notice/12431071
-
@bkuhn (or at least, _imagines_ it is...)
-
@ender2070 Do I? And what, precisely, would that be? Spell it out and show your evidence, coward.
-
@ender2070 What about them?
-
@ender2070 I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about, actually. Trot it on out; otherwise, we can assume it's just another lie.
-
@ender2070 Still waiting for you to explain what you're talking about. Going to accuse me of being a pedophile next? That'd be in character.
-
@ender2070 Thanks for admitting that you accuse people of things without any evidence at all. "Free" software needs more pathological liars!
-
@ender2070 "Yet"? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow, Brandon, if you were _trying_ to slit the throat of your own credibility, you couldn't do any better.
-
@ender2070 Whatever you say, liar. You keep proving that you can't tell truth from fiction, or just don't care, with every posting here.
-
@ender2070 And "someone else who is going to do this"? Is it because you're too much of a coward, or that you have nothing to show?
-
@ender2070 Ah, but what you say matters to others. Now everyone who reads this knows that you're given to gross lies, and a coward to boot.
-
@ender2070 The fact that you're nothing but a childish muppet is not a particular surprise to anyone.
-
@lefty : I think it would be more fun if you just blocked and ignored ender. It would be a fun experiment: what will he find to do instead?
-
@dylanmccall I've considered it. However, I suspect he'd continue to talk smack and escalate it. He can't prove I'm a pedophile "yet"...?
-
@bkuhn It doesn't seem at all worse to me - better, b/c more people are speaking up at once, in public.
-
@bkuhn it's been an uncomfortable, frustrating, and sometimes scary year. But we have to be aware of the problem before we can fix it.

@bkuhn it always gets worse before it gets good. So it is simple. We are almost there. Keep it goin.
-
@lizhenry more flashlights = more bugs :)
-
@lizhenry, I think sexism is now worse. Maybe b/c lower avg age of FLOSS hacker? e.g.:"How to perform" talk wouldn't have happened in 1990s.
-
@bkuhn Maybe because of bad examples (aka "harmless fun") from the "leaders" of the "free software movement"....?
-
@jwildeboer Almost _where_? Where _every_ presentation will be offensive, and the people who point it out will be _universally_ abused?
-
@evan From my point of view, you'd have to be catatonic to be unaware of the problem. And plenty of folks insist there's no problem at all.
