<div dir="ltr">Well maybe you should have thought about these things before you pinned me down on a table and began unzipping my pants without any permission at all, refusing to stop even after I froze in fear asking what the fuck you were doing. I was shaken after that. I used to like you Drew, and it took me so long to report anything because I was worried about hurting someone I thought was a good person. You seemed to be high on cocaine or something, which initially allowed me to excuse the behavior. It wasn't until other people made me realize this wasn't just a one off incident that I decided to report what had happened. I recall you making creepy sexual comments about others way before this incident too, so looking back now I don't find what happened surprising and I probably could have prevented being violated.</div>

It will doubtless screw with my social life for another few months and affects me professionally; I can't even get a response from Mozilla's bug network now, thanks to this. I know, hard to empathize with someone the mediator is calling out, but once this is cleared up, I'd like this experience well documented -dru</p>

<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">There are so many good things about Noisebridge, and about its openness. To keep that good for as many people as possible we do need to have good boundaries. And ask people who have shown great disrespect for others by non consensual behavior to stay away and work out their issues to learn better behavior in some other context, rather than being in the middle of an space without much in the way of rules or safety. Sexual assault and other violent behavior destroys our ability to trust each other. I want to be able to trust people at NB, and to be able to tell others they are likely relatively safe there. <br>

<div dir="ltr">A member of the community known as Andrew "Dru" Byrne has yet to be kicked out of the community. Right before I moved he did some EXTREMELY inappropriate and non consensual things to me that extend far beyond creepy. I sent some emails to Tony "LeTigre", who then forwarded them to Liz. I had asked both of them to keep what had happened to me anonymous. I'm coming out of anonymity because it appears nothing has been done to get rid of someone who poses a high threat to other members of the community (both male and female, trans and cis).<br>
<br>Unfortunately since I no longer live in San Francisco, I can not show up to a Noisebridge meeting but I would like this issue brought up, because others who still use the space have expressed to me that they don't feel safe around Andrew either. <br>
<br>I'm sorry for the drama, but I'm not the one who started it.</div>
