[Noisebridge-discuss] leave (and associated belligerence)

Sun Apr 21 17:47:39 UTC 2013

Third thing to add, b/c it just happened: Dan just tried to provoke me into
further conflict by telling me a knife with a scorpion handle turned up in
the space last night. I asked him why he was doing this & he said that it
was to try to aggravate me into further conflict. (So I can be blamed for
his & the Reverend's behavior, which is largely what has happened.) I have
just told Dan in no uncertain terms to stop talking to me about this shit &
leave me out of it. I am painting today, which is what I was trying to do
the knight the fight occurred. I will be leaving after I paint. I have been
in & out as I said I would be this week. I am building roads to other
places as NB is not a place I feel comfortable any more. At any rate, for
the record, I told Dan not to try to rope me into his belligerence any
further. Hopefully he will respect this wish.

+11+

PS Dan reads the Discuss list. I just don't know if he comments, b/c unlike
me he'd probably make his comments under some other persona.
