there was also one very explicit threat made to the organizers at EA Munich, at least if I remember correctly, of an organization removing their official affiliation with them if they were to host Hanson.
If I were reading this and didn’t know the facts, I would assume the organization you’re referring to might be CEA. I want to make clear that CEA didn’t threaten EA Munich in any way. I was the one who advised them when they said they were thinking of canceling the event, and I told them I could see either decision being reasonable. CEA absolutely would not have penalized them for continuing with the event if that’s how they had decided.
FYI, I read this, didn’t know the facts, and it didn’t occur to me that the organisation Habryka was referring to was CEA—I think my guess was that it was maybe some other random student group?

Yes! This was definitely not CEA. I don’t have any more info on what organization it is (the organizers just said “an organization”).
Sorry, didn’t mean to imply that you intended this—just wanted to be sure there wasn’t a misunderstanding.

It didn’t occur to me that the organization was CEA but I also didn’t read it too carefully.
