So what you're saying is you want conferences to be a safe space for nerds, with none of them beginners or people with different ideas about what a good community looks like trying to mess things up?
That isn't at all what I said. I specifically stated that I've seen other people say that, not that I myself think that. Of course different ideas are good; if we didn't have them, we'd be stuck in the stone age still. However, if the JS community does indeed have lower entry standards than normal, it stands to reason that such a conclusion can be reached pretty easily.
