Oh… is your talk essentially linked to that? Can’t you modify it? …or is
GNU Posh specifically bound to some offensive comments related to
gender, sexual orientation, disability, appearance (well… not so
terrible…), body size, race, religion (erm…)? to
sexuality/intimidation/stalking?

Well I’d find better to directly see a talk which isn’t based on human
discrimination/offense/aggression rather than still having a potentially
nasty thing happening elsewhere… What do you think of that?
