See, normally I avoid drama as much as possible. I mean, I try not to step in it...I'm always watching my feet to make sure I don't end up with sticky, stinky, festering drama on my shoes...<br><br>...but now I am jumping in head first.<br>
<br>What is going on here is, a really nice guy is being publicly (and pubicly) cock punched, repeatedly, over his reliance on a community he contributes to...<br><br>I mean, I've punched a few puppies in my day, and there was the
unfortunate incident when I accidentally dropped a kitten in a blender
(I was just trying to scare it, HONEST!) but never have I cock punched a charitable person publicly like this...now this is on <u>his and the community's conscience</u>.<br><br>When you sacrifice so much for a community, it is not only natural, but necessary to use that community to fulfil some of the needs displaced by the sacrifice.<br>
<br>Maybe that sacrifice is misplaced and undesired. I am sure we've all done that...should we all be publicly bashed over it?<br><br>No.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 11:53 AM, Corey McGuire <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:coreyfro@coreyfro.com">coreyfro@coreyfro.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>My point being, obviously this guy is working very hard and is an active member of the community, paying or not. He's running projects, keeping them clean, keeping the place clean, he's not disturbing anyone.<br>

<br>My personal perspective of NB, he is as molded for NB as is anyone else. More than me at least, and no one has told me to get off a fucking couch.<br><br>Is it habitual? How does that matter?<br><br>
How do you run a 24 hour hacker space, then put limits on how long a person stays there?<br><br>
Is it theft for him to not pay rent, here? Is it theft that people

Corey, who's called Frantisek a "fucking bum"? I seriously want to<br>
have a talk with them.<br>
