Excuse me? I don't believe anyone has pointed a finger at me in the last
24 hours (at least not over this mailing list) about how my actions in
the space were not respecting others. I'm simply adding in my
observations from the night, which also include a statement about how,
yes people were loud and kind of obnoxious in the space.

If someone has a problem with how I act in the space, let's totally talk
about it, but as far as I can tell now one has come up to either this
community or me personally to let me know that how I acted at
Noisebridge on Sunday night was not positive. I was busy making tinfoil
hats, photographing the going ons, and chatting with friends and fellow
hackers about how Noisebridge is awfully good at failing.

This thread is officially ironic if you think about that last bit.

Woah woah woah. I don't think anyone said anything about folks at
Noisebridge on the night in question...

* Acting agro
* Harassing all the women
* Acting as if in a disgusting frat house
* Being scary and horrible

Nor has anyone said in this thread people at Noisebridge should be
allowed to existing in the space and act that way. I'm sorry you had an
awful Caltrain experience (it happened enough to me that I started
avoiding Giants game trains).

I'm not sure why you feel a Sunday night at Noisebridge was apparently a
unwieldy wild sexist frat party, but I don't believe you were there nor
has anyone posted anything near resembling such such statements about
the eve or how these actions you've just listed off should be accepted
at Noisebridge. Please don't add falls information to a discussion that
should really be happening in person and not over the trollable internet.

I'm kind of done responding to this thread, as apparently trying to help
out with perspective and observation isn't helpful and some how has
degraded my day into defending myself from false accusations. Thanks.
