[Noisebridge-discuss] [SPAM] Re: Red asked to leave.

[Liz Henry]

Snail  you are not the only one, this is ridiculous and embarrassing.  If
someone has a white power tattoo that they hypothetically regret, they can
cover it up out of shame and regret, and so as not to piss off, insult, and
alarm everyone not racist in their vicinity. So, fuck that guy.

I am glad someone had the sense, twice, to kick him out.   That speaks well
for noisebridge's culture, even if some people on the list are like Oh No
What About Mr Nazi's Feelings.

Anyone else who wants to reveal their overtly racist body modifications
feel free to show them off so that we know to kick you the hell out of the
space.

Cheerfully,


- Liz
