<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I am glad Wade was asked to leave, but it is behavior like this that happened for who knows how long before he was asked to leave, that makes me now reluctant to recommend Noisebridge to new people. <br>
<br>My concern is mainly that the cultural norms of Noisebridge have shifted too far over to the side of tolerating this and similar behavior, to the extent that more and more people who behave in more considerate ways are avoiding the space. <br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The few times I have been coming round this month during the day time everythnig was quiet and nice, relatively clean even, and people were working on things and acting respectful of each other. At night it felt different, not good or safe. And the early morning was like people sponge bathing in the washroom and sleeping off hangovers, not a good vibe at all. While I know there are good things happening and lots of people are working to fix the culture in general and people's expectations of how they can behave I am feeling worried about the overall trend.<br>
<br>I feel fairly certain, also, that many other incredibly fucking sketchy things are happening that no one is telling about, because they feel like it will be annoying on the list, will make NB look bad, or whatever. Even because the witnesses to it don't email or read the list. That sort of thing means that I can't trust or judge whether it is safe or not. Because I can't trust that bad behavior will be responded to, much less reported. I used to give out Noisebridge keys to other women with pride and happiness. Lately I still give them out but with a lot of apologies, warnings, explanations, and some sadness. I hope that can change. <br>

I am starting to realize that this is the same person who actually set up a tent in Church classroom. Like actually put up a tent.<br>
<br>
He had been writing music in puredata at his little home in the SEM/science room since then. He says the sharps container (with a few needles in it) that's sitting on the SEM (scanning electron microscope) is not his and it was already there.<br>
<br>
He was pretty drunk by the end of the meetings on tuesday.<br>
<br>
I gave him a door code before i realized any of this. I have commented out his code.<br>
<br>
I would like to hear more about what else he did before being asked to leave. I can't say i'm surprised at all.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Wade has been asked to leave the space by Dan and return to a meeting.<br>
He has left and may return to the meeting.<br>
<br>
Wade just recently started coming to the space and even attended the<br>
most recent Tuesday meeting. He has brown hair stands about 5'6" and<br>
has been mostly wearing a bright yellow shirt. He has been working on<br>
a Pirate Radio station in the DJ booth east of church.<br>
