[Noisebridge-discuss] Sleeping at NB

[Hephaestus]

Honestly I'm not sure how I've kept my tongue for so long on this
thread, but here's my one and only bit of input on it.

Fabian did something. He saw a problem, and implemented a solution (in
this case, posting a picture to the wiki). He is a goddamn Noisebridge
hero. Fabian, you're a doer, and that's about the highest title anyone
can have at Noisebridge. Good job, sir.

Someone else saw a problem with the picture being on the wiki, and
implemented a solution (in this case, removing the picture from the
wiki). Whoever did that is a doer, a goddamn hero, and holder of the
highest title at Noisebridge. Good job, anonymous sir and/or ma`am.

That was the end of the thread. It's the way things work in a
community of doers, in a community of builders, in a community of
hackers.

The rest of you motherfuckers have wasted 81 emails, instigating
drama, bitching at people, telling people they can't be doers, but
taken no action yourselves. Your words are irrelevant, only your
actions matter. If you're not going to do anything, don't try to stop
others. If you know someone is doing something you don't like, do
something else that you do like. Be constructive. Create. Build. Do.

If you never do anything but talk, chide, condemn, or distract, you're
as irrelevant as your words.

Glad we could have this chat.

P.S. Circuit Hacking Monday is tomorrow, don't be late or we'll make
you repair circuitboards.
