I'm giving my opinion about the reasons I think this happened, and for some odd reason you are getting super defensive and argumentative about it.
I explained to you why I feel it is unlikely that was the reason. Like I said, if there are any safety concerns, those people are told. This is always the case, they are obligated to tell someone if they believe there is going to be a safety issue or they could be sued.
PAX West is not going to cancel Colin's panel because some random dude put a milkshake tweet on, that seems way over the top even in today's climate. Not to mention it wouldn't have went down that fast.
"Definitely politically motivated, but I guarantee people in the industry who don't like him complained and that's why."
Those are declarations, not opinions.
I asked you how you were so certain and laid out my reasons for why I believe it to be a safety issue. Nothing "super defensive" about that.
I asked you if saw any any connection betweent the threatening tweet and the cancellation. You replied with a bunch of stuff about woke mobs.
I asked you again if you couldn't see any connection between the cancellation and the incitement of violence and you ignored that in favor of telling me what the organisers would do, despite the fact you have no idea what they would, or will do.
I explained my reasoning again as to why I am "hung up on the safety thing", Why you think that's "super defensive" I don't know. I'm just trying to understand your mindset is all. It's interesting to me that someone who knows absolutely nothing about this situation can present such declarative statements like -
"Definitely politically motivated but I guarantee industry people complained and that's why he was removed."
Mostly though I just wanted to see if at any point you could begin to admit that there's a possibility that maybe Colin's panel wasn't cancelled because of his widely known and widely publicised political views which have remained constant over the last few years; but because some nutjob on twitter was inciting violence at the event.
