[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Re[2]: Trimmed off the board list

[Dean Mao]

That's fine to disagree, but don't feel like you haven't insulted anyone,
because people may have been insulted by how you may have communicated with
them.  So when Al asks you to cool down, you should just say "fine, I'll
cool down" instead of saying that Rachel is the one who has to apologize.
