A) People who would object to Carrier's arguments are self-censoring because they believe that Carrier would just block them on ideological grounds and so it isn't worth the effort to comment (which indicates a moral cowardice and a poisoning of the well)

B) People who usually object to anti-harassment policies admit to themselves that Carrier's arguments are superior, but just can't bring themselves to say so (and since they generally claim to value skepticism and admission of being wrong so highly, this would indicate rank hypocrisy)

C) Carrier is lying about not getting such comments and he's just deleting them (but surely the victims of such draconian measures would say so elsewhere, and provide evidence)

D) There just hasn't been enough time since Carrier wrote the post (unlikely given how quickly other blogs with more lenient commenting policies get swarmed)

E) These folks don't know about Richard Carrier's post (massively unlikely since they seem to follow PZ's blog with a religious fervor, and PZ linked to Carrier's piece in the post that HH linked)

...99.99% of the noise on this subject was entirely caused by opponents and trolls (who said things, often involving lies, sometimes borderline libelous, that could not go unanswered, generating more noise, etc.). Had they never raised a peep, there would have been almost no noise about this at all. Orgs would all have internally discussed and then developed and adopted a policy, their public efforts to attract more women would have included (but not solely consisted of) casual mentions of this fact, some blogs would have been written praising this. And that would have been it. Instead, the opponents of policies made it infinitely worse by pumping the very well that made the problem more visible. And then had the gall to complain about the fact that it’s being discussed so much. Nice...

How does JREF handle safety concerns?

The Amazing Meeting, while a private event, is held at the South Point Hotel Casino and Spa, which is open to the public. The safety of our attendees and speakers is a priority. If an attendee encounters a problem within the conference area, they should report the situation to TAM staff or hotel security. JREF has also engaged an independent consultant on these issues, with decades of experience handling security, boundary and safety concerns, to assist us in dealing with any matters should they arise at the event.
