[Noisebridge-discuss] [Noisebridge-announce] Noisebridge Statement on Jacob Appelbaum

[Quinn Norton]

Just to throw in an FYI, I've been in the room when he was humiliating 
and threatening to anally rape a friend of mine, and believe me, my 
friend was definitely not into it. We were in front of about a dozen 
people. I drew his attention, and argued with him to get my friend away 
from him, but everyone just let that kind of shit happen regularly, 
afaict. I saw plenty of other shit, but that was the worst sexual abuse 
I witnessed first hand -- that was enough. The only thing coordinated 
has been the sense that there's enough critical mass for people to talk 
about it without having Jake able to threaten them.
