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?
I am neither sealioning or asking someone to do my research for me. I am engaging in a respectful discussion. A post was made saying gay/trans cant go there. I asked for why you feel that is the case, that is not sealioning nor asking you or anyone to do research.
I am not trolling, nor "profoundly ignorant", not everyone keeps tabs on the day to day happenings in Florida... but congratulations on being rude to someone who is genuinely curious about your opinion, and having a desire to support you in your concerns. Quite the self-defeating approach you have going there.
@freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance I just was amazed that anyone had missed all of this. It isn't exactly hidden from the news. Although if you aren't following it it could be. It's not safe because the government there is actively working against gay/trans people.
You do realize the world is much bigger than the USA... most of us arent in the USA (I only just arrived int he USA a few days ago and have been away for years)...
@freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance I do. I live in Australia and I've managed to keep up.
Great to hear its all over the australian news. That said the places I have been dont speak english, so my access to news is rather limited.
@freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance No Internet there?
@freemo What!? No, you are full of it. We went round and round a month or two ago, with you swearing you weren't being rude, just having a polite conversation. Now here you are saying you've been out of the country for years with no access to internet until a few days ago. Sealioning, 100%.
I have had access to internet. My response saying I didnt have internet was a joke, (which I assumed so was the question) since I was obviously answering **on the internet**. Yes I have had internet.
Also anyone could see I have been consistently posting for years, so should have been obvious I was responding jokingly...
@freemo @aardvark @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance No, I get that you are on the internet *now*. But you were answering questions about where you had been, not where you are now.
the question was asked int he present tense and answered int he present tense. So it is possible, and understandable, I may have misunderstood the question (and this was demonstrated with my answer).
@freemo @aardvark @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance The question was asked with no tense at all: "No internet there?"
regardless my answer was in the present tense "I dont have access to the internet" which clearly was being stated while I have access to the internet (thus the joke).
Thats fair, obviously anything I can do to improve clarity is a good thing.
@freemo @aardvark @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance Your answer in the present tense looked like a mistake, not a joke. You might try using a /s if you're going to be sarcastic, particularly given your communication style.
