You're doing a conference in Florida?
You truly represent the apotheosis of "Agile".
For reals, yo.
You're cool with your 3,000 person venue where no one who isn't a cishet white salesperson/john man is welcome?
Jesus fucking Christ.
I was already estranged, I freely admit it, But this is beyond the pale.
Fuck the Agile fucking Alliance. They aren't what we wanted, they never have been.
@agilealliance I don't give a fuck about your sunk fucking cost.
Apologize, and eat the cost.
You're committing a sin you'll never come back from.
Your one chance, and it's slim, is to just admit that you made a mistake, ask for forgiveness, and move forward.
@agilealliance My trans friends will not go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk of their lives. My Black friends won't go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk of their lives. My gay and lesbian friends won't go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk for their lives.
Go broke, walking away, go broke. But go broke *proud* that you cared more for humans than for a venue-deposit.
🇳🇱
What about florida makes it so exceptionally dangerous for them? Not that I'm disagreeing with you, just wondering what law or whatever this is in reference to.
@freemo @agilealliance Well, while you been sharing your range-pictures, Florida has been outlawing abortion, outlawing being gay, and outlawing teaching young people about the history of our country.
Not sure what my range-pictures have to do with that? Seems a very odd opening statement.
All those things sound quite concerning. What are the punishments for being gay and teaching a history class? Are they severe (though any punishment is pretty concerning).
@freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance Are you sealioning or asking someone else to do your research for you? Certainly if you are Trans you can no longer get medical support. If you are a woman who needs an abortion you can't get that. It's a third class felony to use any book that hasn't been approved by the State in your class. You can't answer questions about gender, sexuality or anything like that in class. So are you trolling or merely profoundly ignorant?
@ariaflame @freemo @agilealliance
Dafuq.
So your case is that it is not technically illegal to be Black, or female, or trans, or gay, or historicaly accurate, so therefore I'm over-reacting?
Sheeeeeit.
I'm an old white male cishet succesful person, and I used to break sticks like you to make my fire my breakfast.
@GeePawHill @freemo @agilealliance I don't think that was meant to be replying to me... Did I misspeak?
He thought your reply to me was to him...
Pro tip the first name in the list of @'s is the person being responded to.
@freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance To be honest I suspect he hit the wrong reply button.
@ariaflame @freemo @agilealliance @ariaflame cool with out-landers not grokking what's going on here.
I'm sorry if I got outta hand.
The situation here is very grim, and very fraught.
Im still getting up to speed, but it certainly sounds scary at first glance and therefore understandable you might be a bit emotional and defensive as a result.
