[Noisebridge-discuss] [drama] Frantisek is going to stop --living-- residing at Noisebridge starting tonight.

[Rachel McConnell]

Let's use the term "reside" instead of "live", as "live" has a lot more
meanings.  As Frantisek is using it, everyone who goes there lives at
Noisebridge.  What we generally seem to agree on, is that nobody should
reside there, even temporarily.
