As expected, Thunderf00t has a new video crowing about the failure
of the Reason Rally. But I’ve been reading the stuff put out by people who attended.
Trav Mamone thought it was great.
Matt Facciani had a grand time.
Adam Lee got a charge out of it.
Some guy named Ed Brayton made a series of videos about it.
I’m beginning to wish I’d gone — everyone is making the point that the reason for the Reason Rally was more than just making a big mob scene, but getting together as a community for a day. That sounds like a success to me.
As for the haters, Adam Lee has a smart comment on that.
The usual sneering bigots asserted that the rally’s anti-harassment policy must have kept people away, a claim with the same plausibility as a Bible-thumper blaming gay rights for earthquakes.
