Hi, my name is David and I have been working with Lilu on repairing the Laser at Sudo Room. I am a member at noisebridge and wanted to make clear that while it is true that Lilu had a misunderstanding/disagreement with two other members at noisebridge, this took place on an online chat when she was both extremely low on sleep (i.e. perhaps not thinking totally logically) and in mourning. It was also resolved in-person through a follow-up conversation and successful mediation. There has never been a "safe space" ask to leave for Lilu at noisebridge - there was simply a disagreement/misunderstanding in an online chat that has since been resolved. Lilu has brought to my attention that she has been pursued and touched inappropriately on two separate occasions by a male worker at the omni commons who asked her "not to worry because he is divorced". After she reported this Saturday she has become the target of harassment by a male friend of the worker, who earlier in the same day (and together with the worker) had tried to discount Lilu's accusation and to characterize the interaction as "normal touch". I think that it would be a mistake to use hearsay about a resolved disagreement at another organization as reason to discount an allegation about harassment/inappropriate touch and frankly what looks like an attempt to bully her into not speaking out about it. Thanks
