I'm sorry you feel that way Jason. I had a number of people personally
come to tell me (via email, IM) that they were unhappy in a major way
after last night. I am speaking out on the behalf of those people and
(obviously) for myself as well.

I feel strongly that there is a push to constantly lock down Noisebridge
and I am firmly against it. I am not the only person. While you may
agree with Dr. Jesus, it doesn't change that many are not.

As usual, I could not disagree with you more. Mutual respect? Dr. Jesus
seems to have gone out of his way to _disregard dozens_ of conversations
on this issue. Additionally, he is using a portion of Noisebridge as his
personal storage space. He knows this and his email was sent (as Rubin
stated) in the direct wake of such a discussion last night. His storage
reportedly includes actual weapons (Katana and Bokken) and other
personal property. His suggestion to lock up the space further and
further is something possible only with active disregard of others
feelings on the matter.

Best,
Jake
