We don't need to escalate the tone of this discussion. I'm putting out<br>my views on why someone should (or in some cases, should not) vote for<br>me to be on the board. That's all. We can have discussions where we<br>talk about our disagreements and not have it become "drama."<br><br>Noisebridge is in some ways a very conservative organization, where<br>even speaking about going against the status quo is met with hostility<br>(albeit the online variety. But it does affect the tone of the<br>debate.) I think we could temper our arguments if we changed/abandoned<br>the high-stakes consensus process with its nuclear-option blocking.<br>People would feel at more ease voicing dissenting opinions without<br>fear that they would be seen as personally blocking an issue, and we<br>wouldn't need to subvert it with do-acracy.<br><br>-Al<br><br>On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Wladyslaw Zbikowski<br><<a ymailto="mailto:embeddedlinuxguy@gmail.com"
