I agree, but it seems to me that there is a way to go before those in
favour of no-platforming feminists will be willing to have debates on
these issues (a no-platform stance vs welcoming debate stance being
mutually exclusive positions) and in the meantime I think it's
understandable that the side which is being no-platformed are convening
"talks" to enable discussion -- what else can they do -- you can't
debate someone who wants to no-platform you...

In any case, I think it's right that Alt-Sheff doesn't list the event as
there is not a consensus to list it.

It has been posted to Indymedia:

All the best
