[Noisebridge-discuss] unannounced groups of non-members at Noisebridge (esp. kids)

[Shannon Lee]

Indeed.

I want to additionally point out that nobody at any time has suggested that
anyone tone anything down due to kids; rather, there's been lots of hand
wringing that if kids are around, someone might theoretically be asked to
tone something down at some point... in theory.  Possibly.

All the people who have kids and who are prone to bringing them around 83c
have chimed in on this thread to say that no special measures should be
taken.  We like Noisebridge and the culture around it, we bring our kids
around so that they can be exposed to it.

This is an overly fraught discussion about a pretend problem.

We seem to be having a lot of these lately.
