[Noisebridge-discuss] Is Patrick Keys stealing from the donation jug?

[Anselm Hook]

Neutrally speaking as an outsider - the below seems like a hurtful
statement. It's made in public, it's an ad hominem attack.

The concern for me isn't even the speaker or the participants. I don't
care about either of them.

Regardless of what the issue is - it makes Noisebridge look bad as an
entity. Why are you all continuing to have Noisebridge exist at all?
It seems like an exercise in pain.

By way of example, I donate to GAFFTA but not Noisebridge. Undoubtably
I am sure the same drama, issues, personal tensions exist in any
organization. But it doesn't spill into outright damn the consequences
personal self aggrandizement threats and bellicose behavior; it's not
crude testosterone driven vulgarity. It's so unhealthy - it's not good
for any of you to have your emotions stirred up this way - to have
your point of view destabilized by silverback preening or shit
flinging.

It's time for me to unsubscribe. Comments like this make me want to
see the place go away. It is sick, the comments are sick, ugly and
unhealthy.

This accusation was leveled by a fellow who claimed to see this take place at 3 AM while the witness was gaming at NB. I've been told others have seen him do this on other occasions, but rather than do things in the dark behind closed doors, I thought I'd ask the list if anyone else can corroborate. Maybe we can set up some sort of formal process for dealing with thieves  in the process!
