The host requiring us to wear badges can be read as the host being asked
to ensure that individuals can be easily identified and thus held
accountable for what they say. I'm not saying that's happened here. I
accept Ray's explanation that the host noticed freeloaders and acted to
address that problem.

Anyone without an email and an ability to pay the registration fee cannot
come physically to an IETF meeting, but can still participate over the
Internet.
It is an incredible stretch to say checking badges at an IETF is a free
speech issue.

There might be many unspoken objections, e.g. that a certain kind of
host might want to keep random locals out of what could be perceived as
a free speech zone.
