Got to be honest, I hadn’t realized this was something which happens at conferences .. in which case it’s pretty pathetic and I appreciate you and Sarah pointing it out.

I tend to spend my time listening to the speakers, rather than talking crap online.

It’s not something I’ve ever experienced, having been in the industry for over a decade, so hopefully it’s a small minority of morons .. but they definitely deserve to be called out. Or maybe I’ve just been lucky and not met these kind of people in my work.

I think your suggestion about removing the anonymity is a really good one, especially at physical conferences.

Not that I’d ever say those kind of idiotic things, but if I were ever tempted, the idea of having Ryan Carson shout out “would Richard Quick please stand up and explain why you’re a sexist ****” at FOWD would probably make me keep my opinions to myself!
