<p>Oh quit with the 5150 bullshit. Of all people at Noisebridge I don't need to be 5150d. I'm sorry that when I feel I need to voice my opinion when I feel there is a certain degree of injustice here and that I'm being labeled as a drama queen or in your case, crazy. After all, I'm not the one running around trying to stab people with a knife. Again PLEASE remind me why that is being ignored and going unpunished, while my spitting incident is??... I'm communicating this via Skype tonight at the meeting. Again, DONE as in done!!</p>
