Thanks for your comment David! Just to clarify: Yarvin wasn’t there there as an attendee or as an invitee, but both his personal assistant and many people who seemed to have close ties to him were attending the events. Many attendees also took part in the afterparty organized by Yarvin at his house. I could have been clearer about this in my text.

Michael Vassar wasn’t there as an attendee or as an invitee, and you have no evidence that he even attempted to purchase a ticket.
No one holding the wrong views on the historicity of the Holocaust was invited to give a talk, and you have no evidence that Austin or Oliver ever considered extending an invitation to such a person.
Of these points, there was only legitimate confusion over the Vassar one. Omitting these points would not only make the post epistemologically cleaner and more concise, but also save you the trouble posting corrections down in the comments.
You will forgive me if this colors the conclusions I draw from your post.
