A reaction to the recent keynote speaker controversies

A philosopher elsewhere writes with an amusing reaction to this week's melodrama:

I already don't "go out" in the philosophy blog-o-sewer, and maybe I'll stop going to conferences too.

Many of these people are not able enough to both do good philosophy and engage constantly in sanctimonious, and often quite nasty, moral police work.  Many of them seem to be getting paid a lot to do mediocre scholarly work and spend 80% of their working  hours on Facebook.
