[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge Bylaws

[Naomi Most]

In my reply, I gave you a chance to see me as a reasonable person,
because I see you as a theoretically reasonable person.  And I still
don't see how my reply leaves any "wiggle room" whatsoever.

But, you don't trust me.  Fine.  Nice board we got here.

My answer to your question is, "Yes, I agree that the NB bylaws can't
be ignored."
