[Noisebridge-discuss] fucking up noisebridge

[Flatline]

I agree completely with this.  Calling the cops unnecessarily does a
FUCK of a lot more to make noisebridge an unsafe space than having a few
wingnuts around. It makes many people feel unsafe in the space including
myself.  Say what you want about Cynthia (and believe me I have plenty
to say) she never made me feel unsafe.  This action does.
