Given the comment you've just linked there leads with "This hackathon is a good example of the hypocrisy of the progressive movement", and you think "hackathon" is some sort of brand name requiring certification ... I urge you to consider the possibility that the problem lies not in the rest of the world outside yourself.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
