[Noisebridge-discuss] leave (and associated belligerence)

Sun Apr 21 17:35:12 UTC 2013

One further thing: I didn't want to be part of the incident in the first
place but knew no one else was going to challenge the shitty behavior in
the space. I expected my request that both individuals leave the space &
come back later to be honored. Since it was not, I conclude that the
guidelines of Excellent behavior expected at Noisebridge are no longer in
effect. The response to my post is not what I expected & I find it very
disappointing & unfortunate (for the whole community). My attitude toward
the space has changed. So be it. In the scheme of things, really doesn't
matter.
