i did leafleting for one of their fundraisers in 2011, a comedy
show. If you like, you can call the SFWAR office to confirm this. My
contacts there include Erica Guajardo Johnson and Frolayne Carlos.
Here's an excerpt from my application, from 2011:<br>
<br>
"I am committed to ending sexual violence, and violence in all it's
forms. As a straight male, who comes from a family of strong,
powerful women, I feel men have a responsibility to understand the
dynamics and history of sexual abuse. Sexual violence has it's roots
in economic injustice, religious doctrine, jealousy and insecurity."<br>

I would expect you to know better than to joke around about

<br>
Please retract that statement, it is totally untrue. i never, ever,
ever joked about rape. That is absolutely false, a completely
inaccurate characterization. <br>

<br>
that is only for volunteering which involves working with victims of
rape. <br>

i mention it to counter suggestions that i'm insensitive to abuse,
not to legitimize anything. <br>

<br>
i was not at all trying to provoke-- in fact, i was stunned when
Mike commented on it. If you read my message and understand my
meaning, you'll see i was intentionally using exaggerated language
to draw attention to Gio's exaggerated use of "vandal, thief" etc,
about his web-page. <br>

<br>
that is false, and you are making an accusation without any basis
other than your own assumptions. It did not even occur to me that
the word might violate any policy. I do not think i can "get away"
with anything, and i believe everyone at NB should be held to the
same standards. <br>

<br>
you'll need to provide some examples of this. It is true that i have
opinions, and i state them, and some people disagree with my
opinions. I cannot help that. It's not my intention to "push
boundaries" by stating my opinions. <br>
<br>
i always make a conscious effort to be considerate of other people's
boundaries, physical or otherwise, when i interact with them on a
personal level. I have never been accused of harassment. <br>

<br>
you barely know me, having interacted with me at one or two
noisebridge meetings and on-list. you have absolutely no basis to
judge my judgement or my qualifications for anything. Please stop
psychoanalyzing me. <br>
