I think the underlying problem here is people trying to use due process to get things done, which involves seeking the approval from others to do things, instead of just using their own judgment to figure out what works and what won't.<br>
<br>That said, if someone brought a piano to Noisebridge, I would insist on also bringing Donald Duck and Daffy Duck so they can duke it out for a rematch:<br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9aDdR3oRMc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9aDdR3oRMc</a><br>

Your block would not count because it is stupid and counter productive.<br>
<br>
The pragmatic effect of the statement I made is to persuade people toward options that face less resistance.<br>
<br>
Now I might ask, what's the pragmatic effect of that bad analogy you just made?<br>

On the procedural, do people believe that, I, as a member of<br>
Noisebridge, may I say something like this:<br>
<br>
"""<br>
I'm very jumpy--many of you have witnessed the effects sudden noises<br>
to Z-axis coordinate. I tend to jump up a few feet.<br>
<br>
Being a member of Noisebridge, I block the the usage of any instrument<br>
that produces sudden noises. For example, dremels (as long as they are<br>
used for more than 2 seconds each time) are fine, but don't even think<br>
of using a staple-gun.<br>
<br>
Whether I'm around or not, it doesn't matter. As a member, I block<br>
their usage within the premises of Noisebridge.<br>
""" ?<br>
<br>
Would my block count? What effect does such a statement have, pragmatically?<br>
