I rage quit. I am seriously fed up with the PC culture of noisebridge that values having no dissent to said PC culture over the free exchange of ideas. I could have lived with it until I was placed in moderation by Tom Lowenthal for disagreeing with a feminist hypothesis. (That men rape and murder at a greater rate than women, how dare I) He then lied to the community at large about the reasons. And then doubled down on censorship by placing me back in moderation (for the past 3 days). Others who were placed in moderation are still able to post to the list about stuff not related to that conversation (they were only placed in moderation in an attempt to appear reasonable to the rest of noisebridge) but nothing that I post to the list gets through even if it has nothing to do with the discussion that Tom unilaterally banned.

Tom Lowenthal is an asshole.

There is no other way say or it. He is an cancer on noisebridge and personally responsible for me leaving.(I'm sure he will see that as a victory though.) He is rude, he games Noisebridge's rules of consensus, and was verbally and physically abusive towards my 7 year old son for picking up his (Tom's) play money from a D&D game. Just because I am leaving should not mean that Tom should continue to play in integral role in the governance of Noisebridge. You guys need to boot that fucker forever. He is causing you to shed members like rats fleeing a sinking ship. There have been at least 4 other people (I am not giving their names because they want nothing else to do with Noisebridge) who have given up on becoming members because of Tom's interference in the membership process. He is essentially stacking the member deck with only people who agree with his personal ideologies or will be his ally by preventing anyone who disagrees with him from being a member. This has been going on for at least 2 years and no one seems to try to check his bullshit. He embeds himself so deeply in the governance of the space that it has a chilling effect on anyone who has a problem with him or his behavior. If the chilling effect is not enough to shut you up he outright censors you while providing a fictional reason for it to the rest of the space. If you don't get rid of him soon you may never be able to and the culture of Noisebridge will not be up to Noisebridge but to Tom.


Fuck you Tom I hope you die of dysentery you fucking bully.
