[Noisebridge-discuss] On a brighter note...

[Naomi Most]

Dennis,

I agree that the community has become very guarded, and practices that
seem friendly can easily be taken as not-so-friendly.

I get where everybody's coming from.  I think in the current
situation, you're correct in your self-correction.  And thank you for
doing that.
