Do-ocracy is a process in which people decide to do things on their own, no
permission necessary. Considering there isn't anyone as Noisebridge who has
any authority to give permission, the logic is then that anyone is allowed
to give permission to you, including yourself.

Kyle tried using a thing at Noisebridge. Kyle found said thing to be
broken. Kyle decided to do-ocractically attempt to fix thing. Kyle was
unsuccessful. Kyle is now being excellent by politely letting the list know
about all this.

Kyle did all the right things.

Hackers learn by taking things apart and breaking stuff. That's what
Noisebridge is for. If anyone tells you otherwise please point them in the
direction of the Tech Shop.
