Will Donglegate Affect Your Decision To Attend PyCon?

theodp writes "Its Code of Conduct describes PyCon as 'a welcoming, friendly event for all.' But will the post-conference fallout from this year's 'Donglegate' debacle and proposed remedies affect your decision — one way or the other — to attend next year's PyCon in ironically naughty Montreal? And even if not, could 'Donglegate' influence the-powers-that-be whose approval you'll need to attend? How about conference sponsors?"

A Donglegate is a novel biological gate revealed to the geeks from beyond the forbidden effeminate walls of feminism. This is a new mystery to geeks. They commented and were punished by god for eating the forbidden fruit. Along with the geek some others in the story were punished as well.

My decision, made many years ago, to remain a reclusive hermit who shuns contact with other human beings and only leaves his domicile to work and fetch food, is clearly shown to be correct by incidents such as this one. (It has, however, had the sad effect of making me communicate almost entirely in run-on sentences on internet web boards.)

PLEASE vote parent up.

I think the proper reply in this context would be "Please erect the parent".

Then she got fired for rocking the boar.

Dude, what the hell goes on at PyCon?!

I'm so fucking glad she got fired. I hope she gets fired from life. People and their fake outrage can die in a fire, or a Walmart trampling.

Too many people overreacted on this one. You did too. Congratulations.

Wait a minute. Because he said that they *can* die in a fire, not that they *should* die in a fire, maybe he is just saying that they are not superheroes, which is a valid piece of information that should be welcome in any serious discussion.

That's what happens when you let women into the internet.

DUDE!

An 8 year girl just gave up on becoming a programmer, because of you.
