The nice thing about consensus is that we'll have quite the opportunity
to discuss this at a meeting. We start with no locks and you'll have to
move the membership to your position with persuasive points. It's a good
metaphor for Noisebridge, we're open until people take decisive actions
to lock things down. So far, we've avoided this entirely.

Sigh. I do not feel that I have abused Dr. Jesus. I certainly have
derived zero joy from this draining thread. If anything, I and others
feel extremely upset that we _keep_ having this discussion with _one_
person in specific.

These are cultural values of Noisebridge as a community. Our general
cultural values do not mean that every individual shares these values.

Best,
