Beware of Bigotry (how my conference talk got cancelled)

&gt;Doesn’t it remind you of the time of the Soviet Union and the Third Reich?<p>&gt;I will not hide their names. Just like Nazi criminals these guys should be known, visible, and prosecuted, as soon as possible.<p>I don&#x27;t have much to say about them cancelling the talk. I mean, it is what it is. Times change and if you want to keep up with the rest of society, you follow the changes in norms of what is acceptable behavior and etiquette.<p>Why are you comparing this to the USSR, Third Reich or Nazis though? Please read some actual history before you make these hyperbolic and childish statements. I mean, do you understand why people might not want you to speak at their conference when you compare something trivial and pathetically irrelevant to a historical event that led to the death of millions of people?<p>And please, Bobby Fischer would never make it in this day and age with those comments. Times change.

He claims it&#x27;s &quot;bigotry&quot; that someone cancelled his talk after he <i>literally</i> wrote he is proud of being sexist. Not just bigotry, sorry, but reminiscent of &quot;Nazism.&quot;<p>Sigh.
