[Noisebridge-discuss] Rachel's language

Rachelyra posted a message yesterday which said something like "if i 
don't like any off-list messages i receive, then i will share them 
on-list". That does NOT mean "don't message me off-list".

My message to Rachelyra was in support of her proposal that Board 
decisions be unanimous (ie Consensus). I enjoyed reading rachelyra's 
posts yesterday-- her sense of humor and creative use of language amused 
me. My message to her was written, i intended, in the same good-humored 
vein.

I never claimed the her quote of me was a lie, i don't know where she's 
getting that. M
y note to her, "I hope you don't like this message so that you share it 
on-list" was a tongue-in-cheek response to her warning above: "if i 
don't like any off-list messages i receive, then i will share them 
on-list". My meaning was "Rachel, you and i agree on this Board process 
issue, so feel free to share my sentiments with the list." I guess 
tongue-in-cheek is easily misunderstood, tho since Rachel is a superb 
sarcasticist, i figured she would get it. Guess not.

I felt Rachel was friendly toward me at Noisebridge, because she got me 
stoned. That's not "rude".

I'll be away from the list for a few days or more, so anyone can message 
me off-list if you so desire.
