[Noisebridge-discuss] [drama] Hippie Apocalypse

[girlgeek_wt]

My concern with Noisebridge from the start has been that the wonderful 
open acceptance of a wide range of people has an opposite side of the 
coin of a weakness in dealing with this sort of situation/person.   This 
is a big test for Noisebridge, and I support a permanent banning.  He 
may be ok when he isn't completely loaded - but he is enough of a danger 
to the entirety of Noisebridge when he isn't to warrant banning.
