I watched this unfold on Twitter, and you're misrepresenting the situation.

The people removed from the conference have a history of disruption and harassment in the community. They were removed because of previous behavior that the organizer was not aware beforehand. He relied on the testimony of people he trust.

The only people who engaged in "creating a fuss" were the speaker and a third-party related to her. They decided to come forward and "out" themselves. Up to that point, everything had been handled in private. There was no need to involve other people such as the organizer's girlfriend or other speakers.

> It is exactly the same behavior.

The organizer denied a speaking position and did so in private, without incurring any shame or denying participation in general.

The speaker and a third party started a campaign of doxxing, harassment and, as other commented put it: "public shaming using false allegations of stalking and harassment".

There's a world of difference between those two behaviors.
