I wish I knew why so many conference attendees requested that such a person be removed from the conference.
Why? Part of diversity means being able to cooperate with people who have different viewpoints and ideologies.
Further reading about this person's aggressive and retaliatory behavior implies that this person has issues that should keep her out of conferences. But, I still think it's important to understand why attendees ask that she be removed.
Sometimes, people who have different viewpoints and ideologies are, themselves, not able to cooperate with a diverse group. This seems like one of those times, and I wouldn't be surprised if her reputation preceded her within the community.
