Thank you! Yeah, I can kind of see how it is more a of a relaxation conference, I just got put off by how they have wine and learning in their promo video. It just seems kind of self contradictory. (wine + learning don't really go together in my humble opinion).
Problem is though in today's age is a lot 'social awkwardness' as you said, is easily fixed by adding alcohol to the mix to relax things. I personally think that's the wrong way of going about it because alcohol is bad for our health and can lead to an addiction. I think just being friendly and already having that 'confidence' in a social atmosphere is far better than taking down shots or drinking. (I've never been to a party or in a drinking atmosphere or a relationship, but just my personal belief).
@Dillybob nobody is forcing anyone to drink at these events.
That's true I just feel like I wouldn't want to be around other people drinking as I could get peer pressured into doing it, or get into a fight, etc.
@Dillybob did you write to these guys yet:
Nah, it's not a serious issue where lives will be lost, or there will be torturing there :P. Just a catchy title I used to be honest. (to help spread the word)
Why would you get in a fight at a peaceful hosting convention?
Well, I mean wherever alcohol is offered, there could be trouble..I doubt there might be a fight at the hosting convection, but you never know. And seeing wine + education on a promo video is just a turn off for me if I were to ever 'WANT' to attend. They could appeal to a larger audience if they didn't include that imo.
Because Obviously he is not mature enough or in the right mental state to handle alcohol.
You'll man up a bit when your second testicle drops.
-So we have a 500Gbps network [...] with over 30 different providers [...]
-No, you don't. Your network is crappy, I have better connectivity at my basement.
-Are you fucking talking to me?
-Yeah you, I bet you don't even have 1Mbps taking into account your phone's data plan!
Fight begins
You should make one of these about how shit GoDaddy is
Complaining about something you've never experienced and have zero knowledge about is extremely ignorant. I understand you are upset over WHT's success but it's not worth broadcasting to public forums with adults who understand and have experienced the real world.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. You don't need to experience the REAL WORLD to know that something is wrong. By this logic, you cannot experience that killing someone is wrong without actually doing it...?
You have no argument and what you said is extremely arrogant. The irony...
False.
Was that an argument?
95%+ of conventions have alcohol available - RIPE and other RIR meetings are the same...
