[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge Mission

[jim]

   Seems to me good not to take anything too seriously, 
not even Rubin (whom I personally like a lot and admire--
I find his style charming in a rustic way; of course, I 
don't take it too seriously). 
   Probably good to remember that NB is a 501(c)3 corp, 
earning that status as an educational institution. The 
implication may be that there's some hierarchy of 
activities such that if there are lots of "high ones", 
then the "low ones" have to defer, i.e. yield space 
and time. 
   It does seem okay to me that anyone has an opinion 
and can express it, no matter good or bad or nicely or 
otherwise, without violating the One Rule: i.e. being 
excellent to each other seems essentially a matter of 
being considerate (and aware), but not necessarily 
approving or "polite" (that last being hard to define).
