<div dir="ltr">As a recently subscribed lurker (and now contributing monthly member), I really don't see the value of this thread, and I agree with JCF. Frankly this drama has demotivated me from actually stepping foot in Noisebridge, which sucks as I really had my heart set on attending the art class this Saturday and the FPGA class (whenever that's actually confirmed). I think I'll make my first visit when it seems that things have "calmed" down.<div>
<br></div><div>Consider that however you may - weak threat, kvetch, out-of-place rant by a noob who should go back to his conformist life, whatever. I'll still contribute financially because I've love the mission and the ethos of the excellent do-ocratics at Noisebridge, seemingly the silent majority. But I can't see how airing these grievances on a public channel encourages folks like myself from getting involved further. Drama belongs at home. And if it's the case that people are treating Noisebridge like their home (e.g. dirty dishes, unattended dog piss, verbal threats, altercations, etc), then I'll consider TechShop instead.</div>

Two other individuals were sitting in the laser cutter space the other night when Dan came back in from his confrontation with you & told us about the whole incident. A third person also heard Dan tell the story. Two of these individuals are named Chris & are new to Noisebridge, the third was also new to the space & I can't recall his name. They may have thought Dan was kidding about it all---that's not the impression I got---but they heard him say it. Let's see if they'll own up to what they heard. I'm BCCing this to both of them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>BTW, Dan, b/c I know you read Disgust, too...whether you reply or not....after telling us the whole spiel the other night ("he had a box cutter in his hand, trying to act like he's all street or somethin', I didn't see what he had in his other hand...") you asked ME to apologize to Mik on your behalf ("tell him I was just playin', I thought we were just jokin' around"), further trying to drag me into your conflict (which I was making every attempt to ignore, as I was working on laser cuts & the SF projector map).</div>

<div>I would have put up with shrugging the incident off, but I won't put up with being called a liar for reporting the words & deeds of others. No fucking way.</div>
