 Your title is offensive, the question is, is Jeff ok with it? If he is, perhaps it's edgy and clever. If he isn't, it's gauche at best, unhinged at worst. 
 He didn't even know. 
 "Gauche at best, unhinged at worst" then. 
 Personally I think perhaps people should be considerate of others, but seems not everyone is all the time. How is this any different to “free speech” and lack of censorship most people here and at ‘Nostr world’ conferences apparently want?? Seems utterly hypocritical. Do you all just pick and choose who can say what and it be ok? 🤣🤣🤣 
 They pick and choose who to have at this conference randomly and strangely enough 
 Does it hurt your feelings? 
 ? I don't know anyone involved. But this title is poor judgement, and if nobody says anything maybe that will become a norm. 
 Bullshit mate. No-one needs permission to call someone something, particularly a public figure, and it was quite obviously done here for provocative effect, which is fine for a public talk.

British debating tradition does this all the time, which you should know as an Aussie and someone who shouldn't be infected by the 'commie scare' derangement that so many US Americans suffer from (and which is so fucking tedious for the rest of us).
