It's my opinion that you, the writer, are on the correct and logical side of the issue. The opposing side really doesn't have any sort of leg to stand on. In my opinion, professional people or business people, people who are actually interested in the product and services, and furthering their progress and quality are separated from rhetorical hacks who are simply interested in making themselves look good.

Because of a bit money and thoughts of fame and glory, it seems to me we have invited all sorts of people who think that this is acceptable behavior and it is not and shouldn't be. Further I have found that arguing with these types is a waste of time, because they will attempt to distort the actual issue with all sorts of meaningless rhetorical questions to sway opinion in their favor, while not actually being concerned about seriously looking at the issue and honestly giving an answer. In my opinion they are not stupid, but just self-serving.

And it shows me from the side of the issue that they stand on whether they are actually interested in Drupal. I personally think it reflects on them poorly from the perspective of professionalism and I think other developers should identify them and shame them as it really shows what they are about.

What will it take to get booth babes out of these sort of events? If you ask me, when it socially unacceptable and seen as a sign of what it really is -- an expression of shallowness and lack of depth in who you actually are and what they are actually doing, and attempting to compensate for that lack of depth by using women as sexual objects.
