@tether To blame everyone who volunteers to organize CCC for the bad behavior of one man is unjustified in my estimation. However, I do think it would be a good idea to have some acknowledgement during the conference of what happened in the Tor project and how they dealt with it. This might help other communities to do better and avoid mistakes.

A lot of it I think boils down to not having any one person have too much power or influence within a group. Maintain a balance of power. Avoid hero worship and cultism. Cultism always has bad outcomes. This also applies more generally in politics.
