I still find such behaviour very troubling. It sets up an all-or-nothing situation where there is no room for disagreement. Of course, one might argue that is just certain disagreements where people will not have any involvement with others but that's not too much better. Even when there is disagreement on one or two, even major, issues, there are many more issues where people are no doubt in agreement.
I might have missed the clarification on whether Boozy and 2 were meant to share a stage at some point or whether they would be doing different things. I could understand not wanting to do an event with 2 but refusing to even go to the same convention where he is performing seems a bit ridiculous and perhaps not the best potential response. I would think better responses would be an open debate with 2 or a separate event discussing what might be wrong with his views. Both those options offer a learning opportunity for attendees whereas not attending doesn't really solve anything. It has done nothing about the problem and just furthers divisions.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
