Hi Deryk
Thank you for sharing such a personal response to your experiences at
Wikimania, and you raise a very valid point about different cultural
sensitivities and the possibility of feeling like an outsider IRL as well
as online. I'm so sorry you felt rejected and excluded at Wikimania. I
I apologise for the somewhat emotionally charged post. Please read to the
end and I promise my argument will come together...
Wikimania 2016 gave me more emotional hot air than any other previous
Wikimania except the one I organised (2013). But unusually, the hot air
didn't arise from disputes
