[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge: Death and Taxes

[jim]

   i don't know if our records support such an idea: track 
drama threads with subsequent losses in members (not 
necessarily directly involved in the [DRAMA], just 
terminally put off by it. 
   to some degree, it seems to me that some people have 
dropped away because they're thin-skinned, but as a group 
we seem not to be aware of thin-skinnedness nor prepared 
to handle such feelings in a way to support a particular 
thin-skinned member. 
   best i can tell, the problem is most often a matter of 
some judgements that people angrily apply or defend, 
generally with some moral component ("this is bad" == 
"you're bad"). i suspect a self-righteous (i.e. indulgent) 
angle to the discussions. 
   maybe "being excellent to each other" isn't sufficiently
descriptive?
