I have my personal grudge with the people from Ruby Central. They organise RailsConf and this year they CANCELLED DHH form the Keynote because he is not woke enough in the eyes of the new governance there...
It's a shame that they try to divide the community with this move.
Actually the same people that are advertising acceptance of others in every form somehow came into a position where they can cancel everyone that has a different opinion with regards to political topics or if they just don't like the fact you're a male white rich guy that likes fast cars and has a wife with two kids. The fact that he created Rails and pushes it forward every year? It doesn't matter to them because hey: wokey wokey wokey.
Pretty sure "start sharing the opening keynote stage with other contributors" doesn't mean "DHH cannot contribute any keynote at RailsConf" and he's blowing it out of proportion for drama's sake because he doesn't have a filter. (Not that that's historically been a problem, he's always been very outspoken and non-PC.)
Oh please. DHH was not cancelled. He was simply asked to share the keynote with other speakers.

Yeah the guy who has managed to have 1/3 of his company walk out and several key rails core developers leaving after his blog post, but it is the organisers of a conference who wants to have different people doing a keynote who is dividing the community. Good logic.
> they just don't like the fact you're a male white rich guy that likes fast cars and has a wife with two kids.
Oh yes he was. In the most awkward and cowardish way.
> He was simply asked to share the keynote with other speakers.
You know that's BS but wokey-pokey will always try to reinterpret.

I don't take advise from crybabies that are easily offended by everything. You cloak under the cover of being tolerant though in fact you are only tolerant as long as the opinion is their own.
I bet you are crying now that you are not admin on this site so you can cancel every post you don't like.
